The depth of the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> has shone throughout their first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets<\/a>. They’ll now have to rely on it even more.<\/p>\n Timberwolves guards Anthony Edwards<\/a> and Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> suffered injuries in a 112-96 home win\u00a0<\/a>over the Nuggets on Saturday night. Shortly after the win, ESPN NBA<\/a> insider Shams Charania reported DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles, meaning he will miss the rest of the postseason. He was set to undergo surgery\u00a0<\/a>on Sunday.<\/p>\n The injury to Edwards, meanwhile, isn’t as severe. Per Charania, he suffered a bone bruise after hyperextending his left knee but had no ligament damage. The knee issue could still force him to miss multiple weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Timberwolves return to Denver for Game 5 of the best-of-seven series on Monday night (10:30 p.m. ET, NBC\/Peacock). If Minnesota wins, it advances to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs. If the Nuggets win, they’ll force a Game 6 on Thursday. They would then need to win that matchup to force a Game 7 on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHow the injury updates impact Timberwolves’ plans<\/h2>\n
