Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo Leave Game 4 With Apparent Injuries

By Stephen Douglas Sports Illustrated

The Timberwolves had a traumatic first half of Game 4 of their first round series against the Nuggets. While Denver only took a four point lead into halftime, Minnesota lost Donte DiVincenzo to a "right lower leg injury," that has people fearing the worst for the guard. Then later in the half, star Anthony Edwards hyperextended his left knee when he landed after contesting a shot.

Early in the game Divincenzo shot a long three-pointer that missed and bounced towards the corner. DiVincenzo went to chase after the ball and as he pushed off his right foot something immediately looked wrong. DiVincenzo went down and did not get up. He quickly motioned to the bench.

Later in the quarter it was announced that he had been ruled out a lower right leg injury. There is no official word on what exactly the injury is, but anyone who has watched basketball the last couple years and saw the replay is fearing the worst.

As if that wasn't bad enough the Timberwolves then suffered another scare late in the second quarter when Edwards went down. The Minnesota star jumped to block a shot and, as he came down, he clearly hyperextended his left knee. Edwards rolled around on the ground holding his knee before he was helped off the court.

DiVincenzo started all 82 games for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists a game while shooting .379 from three on nearly eight attempts a game.
