Donte DiVincenzo Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) remains a daily presence around the team as he works through rehab from the injury he suffered in the first round of the playoffs, general manager Matt Lloyd told Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News. Lloyd declined to give the 29-year-old a return timeline but praised his commitment to rehab and his continued impact inside the locker room. DiVincenzo started all 82 games last season, averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 3.0 threes. He is extension-eligible, but his fantasy case is simpler: managers need a clean return date before treating him as more than a late-season stash.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) remains in the team's plans while he works his way back from surgery. ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective that Minnesota has no plans to trade DiVincenzo, who is on a $12.5 million expiring contract, though the organization has "a quiet hope" he could return before the end of the season. The 29-year-old tore the Achilles against Denver in April and underwent surgery the next day. Minnesota has rebuilt the backcourt around his absence, re-signing Ayo Dosunmu for five years and $112 million and trading for LaMelo Ball. DiVincenzo averaged 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals in 30.4 minutes across all 82 games last season, but a return to that workload is unlikely right away. He belongs on watch lists, not draft boards, while Terrence Shannon Jr. and Jaylen Clark are cleaner short-term perimeter depth pieces.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) could return around the All-Star break in February, per Evan Sidery. DiVincenzo, 29, ruptured his Achilles during Minnesota's first-round playoff series against Denver and later underwent surgery with Dr. Martin O'Malley, who has also been connected to the Achilles recoveries of Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton. Before the injury, DiVincenzo was a key part of the Wolves' rotation, starting all 82 games while averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 3.0 threes. For fantasy, the timeline likely wipes out at least half of his 2026-27 season, making him only a deep stash. His absence should leave extra perimeter minutes available behind Anthony Edwards to open the year.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles tendon in Saturday's win over the Denver Nuggets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Only 1:19 minutes into the game, DiVincenzo grabbed his lower leg area and went to the locker room. He didn't need assistance to leave the floor, which was an encouraging sign. But the truth of the matter is that he suffered a serious injury, and the postseason is over for DiVincenzo. He will also have to miss most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign. Anthony Edwards (knee) was also injured in Game 4, so Minnesota's rotation and offense could look very different going forward. Ayo Dosunmu, Bones Hyland, and Mike Conley must all chip in more.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, guard Donte DiVincenzo has been named to the starting five for the Minnesota Timberwolves to open the 2025-26 season on Wednesday. DiVincenzo replaces 38-year-old Mike Conley as the team's starting point guard. Conley will remain a crucial component for Minnesota, but will now come off the bench. Across 62 games last season, DiVincenzo averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.9 minutes per contest. With an increase in playing time, the 28-year-old's fantasy value should see a notable boost this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo will not be part of Team Italy at the EuroBasket 2025 after sustaining an injury. "I just wanted to say how happy, thankful, and excited I am to finally become an Italian citizen. I want to thank the Federation and Italian institutions for making all this happen in record time. Unfortunately, I'm sorry I will not be able to join the national team this summer due to a physical issue," DiVincenzo said in a statement. DiVincenzo's injury will reportedly take "several weeks" to heal, meaning it could also affect his status for the start of the new NBA season. During his first year in Minneapolis, DiVincenzo posted 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Donte DiVincenzo (suspension) will be unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. According to Sham Charania of ESPN, DiVincenzo was suspended by the NBA for one game for his involvement in an on-court altercation with the Pistons on Sunday. Naz Reid (suspension) will also have to sit out one game for his participation in the scuffle. With DiVincenzo out of action, Minnesota will likely turn to Rob Dillingham and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to take extra minutes. Alexander-Walker, in particular, could be a solid fantasy streaming option this evening. He recently finished with 11 points, two rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes on Sunday versus the Pistons.

Minnesota 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.

Minnesota 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.

Minnesota 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.
