Ayo Dosunmu, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard, has been ruled out for Game 6 due to a right calf issue. This is a significant blow to the Timberwolves, who are already dealing with an expanding injury list. In Game 4, they lost Anthony Edwards to a hyperextended left knee and Donte DiVincenzo to a torn right Achilles, leaving the Timberwolves without their starting backcourt. Dosunmu has stepped up in their absence, scoring 25, 43, and 18 points in each of the past three games. However, his recurring right calf problem has worsened at the wrong time, leaving him inactive for Thursday's closeout opportunity. Reserve forward Kyle Anderson was also ruled out due to an illness. Nuggets starting wing Aaron Gordon, who had been listed as questionable due to a left calf issue, remained out. Gordon tested his calf pregame but was ruled out about an hour before the 9:30 p.m. ET tip. The Timberwolves are up 3-2 in the first-round series, but they are losing their grip due to their expanding injury list. The Nuggets are also dealing with injuries, as Peyton Watson has missed the series due to a hamstring strain. The Timberwolves will need to find a way to overcome their injuries and secure a win in Game 6 to advance to the next round.
