Donte DiVincenzo, guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is sidelined indefinitely due to a Grade 3 left toe sprain. This injury, confirmed by an MRI, occurred during a recent game against the Golden State Warriors. DiVincenzo is currently exploring treatment options and is seen wearing a protective boot.
Prior to his injury, DiVincenzo had been enjoying a productive stretch, averaging 17.5 points and 4.7 assists in his last six games as a starter. His impressive performance included a season-high 28 points against the Warriors. With DiVincenzo's absence, veteran Mike Conley is likely to maintain his starting role, while rookie guard Rob Dillingham may see increased playing time.
The Timberwolves are also facing pressure as the trade deadline approaches. They have received inquiries about Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who is on an expiring contract, although the team reportedly has no intention of trading him. However, the team's financial situation may compel them to seek new acquisitions to fill the gap left by DiVincenzo.
