With the Minnesota Timberwolves moving on to the second round, they still have plenty of concerns in the injury department.
Ayo Dosunmu is one name to keep an eye on, along with Anthony Edwards and the already-out Donte DiVincenzo.
The Timberwolves knew the moment that DiVincenzo landed his diagnosis that he would be absent for the remainder of the playoffs. The veteran guard is dealing with an Achilles tear.
