The Wolves acquired Dosunmu in a mid-season trade with the Chicago Bulls. He’s averaged 21.8 points per game this postseason, including the 43-point performance in the game both Edwards and DiVincenzo were injured.
“He goes places quick,” said Wolves coach Chris Finch after Saturday’s 112-96 win in Game 4. “He’s an unbelievable finisher. He makes big shots… He’s not afraid. Just was going to ride him until he collapsed, really.”
Bones Hyland was also listed as questionable, but the team later said that he will be available for Game 6.
The Wolves have a chance to end the series Thursday night at Target Center, with tip-off set for 8:30 p.m.
