The depth of the Minnesota Timberwolves has shone throughout their first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. They’ll now have to rely on it even more.
Timberwolves guards Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo suffered injuries in a 112-96 home win over the Nuggets on Saturday night. Shortly after the win, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles, meaning he will miss the rest of the postseason. He was set to undergo surgery on Sunday.
The injury to Edwards, meanwhile, isn’t as severe. Per Charania, he suffered a bone bruise after hyperextending his left knee but had no ligament damage. The knee issue could still force him to miss multiple weeks.
How the injury updates impact Timberwolves’ plans
The Timberwolves return to Denver for Game 5 of the best-of-seven series on Monday night (10:30 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock). If Minnesota wins, it advances to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs. If the Nuggets win, they’ll force a Game 6 on Thursday. They would then need to win that matchup to force a Game 7 on Saturday.
