The Minnesota Timberwolves listed Ayo Dosunmu as questionable for Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs due to right heel soreness, casting uncertainty over his availability as the series shifts to Minnesota.
Game 3 is set for Friday night at 6:30 p.m. PT on Prime Video, with the Timberwolves looking to take a 2-1 series lead on their home floor.
Dosunmu’s status comes after a limited outing in Minnesota’s 133-95 loss in Game 2 on Wednesday. He logged just 10 minutes before being affected by the heel issue, finishing without a made field goal while recording one block and one steal.
Despite the abbreviated performance, Dosunmu has been a key contributor throughout the postseason. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 18.2 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 57.4% from the field, 52.2% from three-point range and 95% from the free-throw line across six games.
His impact was especially significant in the Timberwolves’ first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. Dosunmu averaged 21.8 points, four assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 60.9% from the field and 54.5% from beyond the arc in five appearances. He delivered one of the standout performances of the postseason in Game 4, scoring 43 points on 13-for-17 shooting, including a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point range and 12-for-12 from the free-throw line.
