Wolves Take 3-1 Lead as DiVincenzo Tears Achilles and Edwards Injures Knee in Dramatic Playoff Win

Minnesota beat Denver 112-96 in Game 4 to go up 3-1, but the night was dominated by injuries: Donte DiVincenzo suffered a torn Achilles and Anthony Edwards left with a left-knee issue. The Wolves rode a late 21-6 surge and a career-best 43 points from Ayo Dosunmu to seize control, while Nikola Jokić struggled and a late incident led to ejections for Jokić and Julius Randle after Jaden McDaniels’ late layup. Game 5 heads to Denver.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon during Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Cousins, who leads the NFL in touchdown passes this season, will undergo surgery, and plans for his recovery will be determined in the coming week.
