Wolves Lose Edwards and DiVincenzo to Leg Injuries in Game 4 The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a significant setback in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Denver Nuggets when both starting guards, Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo, were forced to exit the game due to leg injuries. The injuries, which occurred early in the matchup, left the team reeling, though they managed to secure a 3-1 series lead with a decisive victory. DiVincenzo was sidelined just 1 minute and 19 seconds into the game after slipping on the court while chasing a loose ball. The incident immediately raised concerns about an Achilles tendon injury, as he immediately waved to the bench for assistance and placed minimal weight on his right foot. He was later transported to the locker room in a wheelchair, marking the end of his season. Coach Chris Finch expressed deep disappointment, calling the loss of DiVincenzo “really tough” and emphasizing the emotional toll on the team. Edwards, meanwhile, suffered a left knee injury late in the second quarter after his leg buckled while landing from a contested layup. He was helped to the locker room and ruled out for the remainder of the game. The severity of his injury remains uncertain, though the team has not provided further details. Edwards, who had been a key contributor to the series, averaged 23 points and eight rebounds in the first three games. His absence leaves a significant void in the Timberwolves’ offense. Despite the setbacks, the Wolves managed to overcome the loss of their two primary guards. Ayu Dosunmu stepped up with a game-high 43 points, leading the team to a crucial win. Dosunmu, who was emotional during the postgame interview, dedicated the victory to Edwards and DiVincenzo, stating, “This is for them.#denver_nuggets #minnesota_timberwolves #anthony_edwards #chris_finch #donte_divincenzo
