Minnesota guard Ayo Dosunmu, dealing with a sore right calf, was ruled out for Game 6 of the Timberwolves' Western Conference first-round series vs. the Denver Nuggets in Minneapolis on Thursday.
Dosunmu was a late addition to the injury report for the Timberwolves, who hold a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. The news that he wouldn't play broke more than an hour before tipoff.
Game 7, if necessary, is Saturday in Denver.
A late-season acquisition via trade from Chicago, Dosunmu emerged as the hero in Game 4 after star Anthony Edwards (knee) and backcourt mate Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) exited due to injury. Dosunmu scored 43 points, bookended by performances of 25 and 18 points, respectively, in Games 3 and 5.
Minnesota also ruled out Edwards and DiVincenzo for the Thursday game, but guard Bones Hyland was made available for the contest despite dealing with left knee soreness.
Dosunmu, 26, averaged a combined 14.8 points, 3.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds for the Bulls and the Timberwolves in 69 games (19 starts) this season.
The University of Illinois product was selected by the Bulls in the second round of the 2021 draft. In five NBA seasons, he has averages of 11.1 points, 3.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 348 games (173 starts).
