Wolves' Injury Crisis Worsens with Dosunmu, Anderson Questionable For Game 6
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Timberwolves may face Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets without key players Ayo Dosunmu (right calf soreness) and Kyle Anderson (illness), both listed as questionable shortly before tipoff.
- Dosunmu was instrumental in the Wolves' Game 4 win, scoring 43 points with efficient shooting, while Anderson's late status update raises concerns about his availability.
- Bones Hyland was upgraded to available and has contributed significant bench minutes in recent games, while veteran Mike Conley could see increased playing time if Dosunmu is sidelined.
- The Wolves currently lead the series 3-2 and could eliminate the Nuggets with a win, but Dosunmu's absence would shift guard responsibilities to Conley and potentially Terrence Shannon Jr., who has seen limited playoff minutes so far.
- Head coach Chris Finch has expressed concerns about Shannon's defensive efforts, which have limited his playing time despite expectations for a larger role.
