Timberwolves Rule Out Ayo Dosunmu for Game 6 vs. Nuggets With Calf Injury

Overview

• Dosunmu, who was listed as questionable with right calf soreness, was ruled out Thursday only hours before tipoff for Game 6.
• The Wolves also ruled out Anthony Edwards with a knee issue and Donte DiVincenzo with a torn Achilles, leaving the guard group short.
• Dosunmu emerged as a key two-way piece after the trade deadline and scored 43 points in Game 4 to help build a 3-2 series lead.
• His return timetable is unclear, which clouds Minnesota’s options for a possible Game 7 in Denver on Saturday.
• Coaches are expected to lean on reserves and adjust defensive coverage to counter Denver’s perimeter threats without Dosunmu.
