Dosunmu Exits With Heel Injury as Spurs Rout Timberwolves in Game 2

Injury management for Anthony Edwards leaves Minnesota's guard group thin.

Overview

  • The Timberwolves ruled Ayo Dosunmu out for the rest of Game 2 after he left in the first half with a heel issue following a recent right calf injury.
  • Dosunmu logged about 10 minutes before exiting, went 0-for-4 from the field, and recorded one steal and one block in a minus-six stint.
  • San Antonio overran Minnesota 133-95 in Game 2, sending the series back to Minneapolis with the Timberwolves searching for lineup answers.
  • Anthony Edwards is playing through a bone bruise and runner’s knee, and he left the arena with large ice bags on both knees as the team limits his minutes.
  • Minnesota will monitor Dosunmu’s status before Game 3, and earlier backcourt losses, including Donte DiVincenzo’s season-ending Achilles tear, add pressure to adjust rotations on short notice.
