Donte DiVincenzo (MIN): Out

Donte DiVincenzo, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ starting guard who averages 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 40.6 percent from the field, will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing right‑Achilles surgery. The injury was sustained in the Timberwolves’ Game 4 victory over the Denver Nuggets, and the procedure is expected to keep him out until at least April 1, 2027.

The Timberwolves sit at 49‑33, sixth in the Western Conference and tenth in the league’s power rankings, with a net rating of +3.4 and a two‑game winning streak. Losing DiVincenzo removes a reliable scorer and playmaker from a rotation that has been split 5‑5 in its last ten games. The team will need to rely on its remaining backcourt depth and adjust its offensive schemes as it pushes toward the postseason, keeping an eye on how other guards step up to fill the void.
