Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson won't be able to help his team stay alive in their first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets, as he has been ruled out of Game 5 due to a left eye injury, the team confirmed on Monday. Anderson left Game 4 after teammate Anthony Edwards accidentally hit him in the face during the third quarter. Anderson will join Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid on the sidelines, putting added pressure on the Wolves. Jaylen Nowell is listed as questionable with left knee tendinopathy. The Wolves were able to stay alive in the series when they won their first game on Monday, forcing a Game 5 in Denver. Minnesota will undoubtedly miss Anderson's 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game in the series, but will hope that Edwards continues to produce his second career playoff game with 30 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals and blocks. Edwards is proving to be a star, and his 34 points, six rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two steals in Game 4 helped Minnesota stay in the series.
