Minnesota star Anthony Edwards will be miss several weeks with a left knee bone bruise suffered in the Timberwolves' win over Denver in game four of their NBA playoff series, ESPN reported Sunday.

Text size:

All-Star guard Edwards was hurt when he came down awkwardly after rising to defend a shot at the basket, hyperextending his left knee.

ESPN reported that medical tests ruled out ligament damage, but Edwards is still expected to miss the rest of the Timberwolves' first-round series and, if they advance, at least part of the second round.

But the Timberwolves will be without key starter Donte DiVincenzo for the rest of the playoffs, confirming Sunday he had suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon when he went down in the opening minutes of Saturday's game four.

"He will undergo surgery this afternoon," the team said in a statement. "DiVincenzo is out indefinitely and further updates of his progress will be posted when available."

The Timberwovles have won three straight games to take a 3-1 lead over the Nuggets and can close out the series with another win in Denver on Monday.

The Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference finals in each of the past two seasons.

If they get past the Nuggets, they will face either the San Antonio Spurs or Portland Trail Blazers in the conference semi-finals.
