Monday, April 27, 2026- The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a crucial Game 4 playoff win—but at a devastating cost—after both Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo suffered serious leg injuries during the same game.
Edwards exited in the second quarter with a left knee injury after an awkward landing, while DiVincenzo went down early with what has been confirmed as a torn Achilles, immediately ending his playoff run.
Despite the setbacks, Minnesota pushed through to beat the Denver Nuggets 112–96, taking a commanding 3–1 lead in the series. A standout performance from Ayo Dosunmu off the bench helped carry the team in the second half, but the mood quickly shifted from celebration to concern as the severity of the injuries became clear.
Early reports suggest Edwards could miss multiple weeks with a knee issue, though he avoided major ligament damage, while DiVincenzo’s Achilles injury is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the postseason and beyond.
The double blow now casts serious doubt over Minnesota’s championship hopes, turning what looked like a dominant playoff run into a race against time to regroup without two key players.
