Donte DiVincenzo Out Again On Saturday Night
2 months agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (toe) won't play on Saturday versus Cleveland. The former Knick got off to a slow start to his tenure in Minnesota. However, he's played well of late, most recently amassing a season-high 28 points with nine assists and six boards in a recent game against the Warriors. Unfortunately, DiVincenzo will now miss his second consecutive contest because of a great toe sprain. Mike Conley, who filled the hole in the lineup in Friday's win over New York and ended the night with 13 points, will likely re-enter the starting lineup. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid should also see more work from off the bench.

Donte DiVincenzo Upgraded To Available
1 month agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Donte DiVincenzo (toe) will be active on Friday against the Utah Jazz. He returned from a 19-game absence on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, posting nine points, five rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 23 minutes. Minnesota initially had DiVincenzo listed as questionable on Friday's injury report. DiVincenzo took only six shots -- all from downtown -- in Thursday's game, making half of them, but he should have a bigger say in the offense on Friday night, as Anthony Edwards (suspension) will not be in the lineup.

Donte DiVincenzo Considered Questionable Against Jazz
1 month agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (toe) has drawn a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz due to the toe injury that kept him out for over a month. Thursday was his first game back since January 15, so it wouldn't come as a big surprise if the Timberwolves decide to ease him back and let him sit the back part of a back-to-back. If he doesn't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see plenty of minutes since Anthony Edwards (suspension) is also out. They both are likely available in a wide range of fantasy leagues, but Shannon has shown a lot of promise, especially after 25 points, five rebounds, and two assists on Thursday.

Donte DiVincenzo May Return To Timberwolves Lineup Thursday
1 month agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Donte DiVincenzo (toe) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He seems to be nearing his return to the lineup after practicing on Wednesday. DiVincenzo has been sidelined for 19 games due to a toe sprain. Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have taken on expanded roles with DiVincenzo out and will lose fantasy value when he returns. DiVincenzo replaced Conley in the starting lineup in early January, averaging an impressive 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals.
