Donte DiVincenzo, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard, will be sidelined indefinitely due to a Grade 3 sprain to his left big toe, as announced by the team on Monday. This injury, which occurred during a game against the Golden State Warriors, has led to DiVincenzo missing two games prior to the Timberwolves' matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The Timberwolves are currently seeking a second opinion on the injury to explore possible treatment options. DiVincenzo, who joined Minnesota through a trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns, had just been promoted to the starting lineup six games ago, where he had been averaging 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. Despite the recent success, the Timberwolves find themselves at eighth place in the Western Conference at 22-20.
