The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> lost two starters before the end of the first half of Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets<\/a>. Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> and Anthony Edwards<\/a> both suffered leg injuries before halftime, with both players later ruled out of the game.<\/p>\n

DiVincenzo’s injury occurred after playing only one minute and 19 seconds, with the guard sustaining an apparent non-contact injury. He was later diagnosed with a torn right Achilles tendon, per ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DiVincenzo went down soon after a failed three-point attempt early in the game, grabbing at the back of his right leg. The guard immediately headed into the locker room, though he was able to walk under his own power; the Timberwolves ruled him out<\/a> shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

At halftime, the broadcast showed footage of DiVincenzo in a wheelchair, with a splint cast on his right leg.<\/p>\n

Then, right before the end of the first half, Edwards landed awkwardly on his left leg, appearing to hyperextend his knee. He fell to the ground, staying down for a moment while slapping the court in frustration; he later needed help to walk into the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Edwards was assessed by trainers during halftime, with Mike Conley<\/a> stepping in at point guard to start the second half. Partway through the third quarter, the team announced<\/a> that Edwards had also been ruled out of the game, with a left knee injury.<\/p>\n

Per Charania<\/a>, Edwards is currently undergoing additional testing on his knee.<\/p>\n

Minnesota entered Saturday\u2019s game with a 2-1 series lead over the Nuggets.<\/p>\n
