Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson has been ruled out for Game 5 in Denver on Tuesday because of a left eye injury he suffered in Game 4, the team announced on Monday.
Anderson suffered what the team called a left eye/facial contusion after teammate Anthony Edwards inadvertently hit Anderson in the face late in the third quarter of Game 4 in their Western Conference first-round series. Anderson left the game and did not return.
The Wolves won their first game of the series against the Nuggets on Monday to force a Game 5 in Denver.
Anderson has averaged 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 26 minutes per game during the series.
