In Game 4, he came off the bench to play 42 minutes, shooting 13-of-17 from the field, 5-of-5 from three-point range, and 12-of-12 from the free-throw line for a career-high 43 points, leading Minnesota to a victory over Denver.
The Timberwolves currently hold a 3-2 series lead. Dosunmu's absence is yet another major blow to Minnesota, following the injuries to Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo.
