Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Mike Conley was forced to sit out Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets due to a sore right Achilles, a crucial blow to the team’s playoff hopes.

The injury occurred in the final moments of Game 4 when Conley attempted a three-pointer, missing with just 25 seconds left on the clock in a narrow 115-107 defeat.

Conley’s absence meant a starting role for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, with Coach Chris Finch also indicating increased minutes for Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris.

Chris Finch confirmed that Conley, who has been averaging 11.3 points and seven assists in the playoffs, felt discomfort in his leg following the previous game, making him unable to take the court for the critical matchup.

With the series tied at 2-2, the Timberwolves faced a formidable challenge without Conley, relying on their bench depth and strategic adjustments to try to secure a victory on the road against the reigning champions.
