Timberwolves Game 4 hero Ayo Dosunmu out for Game 6 in latest blow for Minnesota
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ injury situation has somehow gotten worse. Ayo Dosunmu, the Timberwolves’ hero in Game 4, has been ruled out for Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets due to a calf injury, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Kyle Anderson has also been ruled out with an illness.
Minnesota currently leads the series 3-2, but faces a tall order closing the series out with its current injuries. The team was already missing starting guards Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo, who both sustained injuries in the first half of Game 4 . Edwards will miss multiple weeks with a bone bruise and hyperextension of his left knee, while DiVincenzo is out for the season and beyond with a torn Achilles tendon.
Dosunmu had been one of Minnesota’s remaining reasons for optimism after posting 43 points in its unlikely Game 4 win, but then he popped up on the injury report on Thursday morning and was ruled out hours later. Game 6 is scheduled for 9:30 p. m.
ET on Thursday, with Game 7 on Saturday if necessary.
