GM: DiVincenzo (Achilles) lacks return timeline

MIN Guard #0

Player Stats

Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd refused to give a return timeline for injured guard Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles).

DiVincenzo suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the Timberwolves’ first-round series against the Nuggets. While there were some external questions about whether the team would entertain trading him in order to upgrade the roster this offseason, it was reported that the Timberwolves would not move DiVincenzo. According to Lloyd, the guard has been a fixture at the team facility as he attacks his rehab. While the Timberwolves’ general manager refused to provide a concrete return timeline for DiVincenzo, he did express optimism that the guard would be able to play at some point next season. Fantasy managers can afford to leave him on the waiver wire in drafts due to the uncertainty.

Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) said that he expects to play at some point this season.

DiVincenzo suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the first round of last season’s playoffs. Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd refused to provide a concrete timeline when asked about the guard’s recovery in early September. Still, DiVincenzo made it clear on Monday that he expects to play at some point this season. While we certainly hope that’s the case, fantasy managers have no reason to stash him in an IL slot. Just be alert for the day when DiVincenzo is cleared to resume on-court activities. In the meantime, his absence boosts Ayo Dosunmu’s fantasy value, as he should be the first guard off the bench.

The Timberwolves won’t trade Donte DiVincenzo, according to the Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski.

DiVincenzo appeared in all 82 regular season games last year, but suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in the first round of the playoffs. According to Krawczynski, the Timberwolves need to add a power forward and they need more shooting, but that won’t come at the expense of trading DiVincenzo. The 29-year-old shooting guard is still expected to miss a significant portion of the upcoming season.
Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13

Ayo Dosunmu tallied 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound and nine assists in Friday’s Game 6 loss to the Spurs.

While he didn’t do much scoring in Game 6, Dosunmu did dish out nine assists in what could be his final appearance in a Timberwolves uniform. His play in Game 4 of the Denver series will go down in franchise history, and Ayo was clearly not playing at full strength in the second round. An unrestricted free agent this summer, Dosunmu should not lack suitors, including Minnesota. With Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) sidelined, the Timberwolves could make retaining Dosunmu a priority. A return would make Ayo a must-draft player in standard leagues whose ceiling would be considerably higher than it was in Chicago.
Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13

Ayo Dosunmu finished Tuesday’s Game 5 loss to the Spurs with 16 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals, two blocks and one three-pointer.

While he shot the ball better on Tuesday than he did in Game 4, Dosunmu’s efforts weren’t enough to help Minnesota take the series lead. He’s started the last two games and that will remain the case for Game 6, with the Timberwolves’ season on the line. Overall, Dosunmu’s play throughout the postseason should raise his profile going into free agency this summer. And with Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) set to miss significant time, re-signing Dosunmu may be a priority for the Timberwolves.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

NBA Insider Chris B. Haynes reports that Anthony Edwards (knee) is considered week-to-week.

Ant-Man is dealing with a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee, and he’ll likely miss the rest of the first-round series against Denver. Minnesota must win only one of its next three games against the Nuggets, scheduled for Monday, Thursday and Saturday, if the series goes the distance. The Wolves played well without Edwards in the regular season, but without he and Donte DiVincenzo, the road ahead will be challenging. Ayo Dosunmu will need to keep scoring at a high level to pick up the slack, and he’ll look to build off of a 43-point performance in Game 4.

The Timberwolves announced that Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) is undergoing surgery on Sunday.

DiVincenzo suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the first quarter of Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Nuggets. Like Boston’s Jayson Tatum last spring, the Timberwolves guard is undergoing surgery the day after the injury. DiVincenzo is out indefinitely, and given the general timeline for Achilles tendon ruptures, he’s going to miss a significant portion of the 2026-27 season.

Anthony Edwards (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks.

Edwards suffered a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee in the second quarter of Game 4 and is expected to miss multiple weeks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The loss is a big one for the Timberwolves, who have a 3-1 series lead over the Nuggets in the opening round. Minnesota also lost starting guard Donte DiVincenzo to a season-ending torn Achilles in Game 4. Without Edwards and DiVincenzo, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu should see the bulk of the backcourt minutes going forward.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Donte DiVincenzo has been diagnosed with a ruptured right Achilles tendon.

For the second consecutive postseason, a team has lost a key rotation piece to a ruptured Achilles tendon. After Milwaukee (Damian Lillard), Boston (Jayson Tatum) and Indiana (Tyrese Haliburton) experienced that pain last season, Minnesota did so with DiVincenzo during Saturday’s Game 4 against the Nuggets. The Timberwolves’ guard was injured early in the first quarter, and his ability to walk to the locker room without assistance was not the positive sign some had hoped. Ayo Dosunmu has added importance to the Timberwolves’ future, especially if Anthony Edwards (knee) also has to miss time.

Donte DiVincenzo (leg) will not return to Saturday’s Game 4 against the Nuggets.

DiVincenzo went down with a potentially serious right lower leg injury early in the first quarter of Saturday’s game. The Timberwolves guard immediately called for the team trainers but did not require assistance to return to the locker room. However, there is concern that he may be out for an extended period. Ayo Dosunmu entered the lineup after DiVincenzo’s injury and would likely start moving forward.
Donte DiVincenzo

MIN Guard #0

Donte DiVincenzo amassed 16 points (6-of-9 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Monday’s Game 2 win over the Nuggets.

DiVincenzo’s dunk in the final seconds sealed Minnesota’s 119-114 victory, and he knocked down a few timely three-pointers to help even the series. Through two games, the Timberwolves’ guard has shot 8-of-14 from beyond the arc, and that’s after shooting a combined 11-of-30 from deep in the final four games of the regular season. If DiVincenzo can shoot the ball as well as he did in Games 1 and 2, that would go a long way toward helping the Timberwolves advance. Game 3 is on Thursday.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Ariel Hukporti has suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon and will missed the 2026-27 season.

Hukporti signed with the 76ers at the start of free agency after spending the first two years of his career with the Knicks. He was expected to provide more center depth behind Joel Embiid, but he won’t be available for this season. Adem Bona (foot) is currently out as well, but he should be the primary backup center behind Embiid, though the 76ers will likely have to make a move to bring in another big.

Bulls coach Tiago Splitter said Zach Collins (toe) is “close” to returning.

Collins has been sidelined since undergoing season-ending toe surgery in February. With Nic Claxton dealing with a hamstring injury, Collins could occupy some of the center minutes to start the season, likely behind Jalen Smith. However, “close” isn’t a clear enough timeline for fantasy managers to take action on a potential backup center.

Nique Clifford finished Monday’s exhibition against the Lakers with 23 points (8-of-13 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.

With starter Zach LaVine (nine points and one rebound) playing 15 minutes, Clifford was one of the reserves who logged extended minutes in Monday’s preseason opener. The second-year guard capitalized on the opportunity, leading all scorers with 23 points and grabbing nine rebounds. With DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook no longer in the fold, Clifford is one of the Kings who will have more opportunities to produce. Keep an eye on him during the preseason, as he may be worth a late-round flier.

De’Andre Hunter (eye) accounted for three points (3-of-3 FTs) in Monday’s exhibition against the Lakers.

Hunter, whose 2025-26 season ended in February due to an eye injury that required surgery, was in the starting lineup on Monday. The Kings did not have Keegan Murray, so fantasy managers should not read too much into that. What they should read into when evaluating Hunter is that he did not have an official shot from the field, with his points coming via a three-shot foul. And there was no rebounding or defensive production to speak of. Hunter has rarely offered reliable fantasy value as a pro, making him challenging to trust in drafts.

Cameron Carr tallied 19 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday’s exhibition against the Kings.

After a positive showing at Summer League, Carr got his preseason off to an excellent start on Monday. The first-round pick shot over 50 percent from the field and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line in his 23 minutes. Carr may not be a must-have player in standard redraft leagues, but he should be a popular target in dynasty startups. He has the all-around skill set, size and acumen to be an impact wing at the NBA level.

Jake LaRavia tallied 12 points (5-of-6 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Monday’s exhibition against the Kings.

With LeBron James and Rui Hachimura out of the picture, LaRavia’s opportunities should increase, whether he starts or comes off the bench. He was the Lakers’ sixth man on Monday and provided solid production outside of his poor foul shooting. While he may not be someone who fantasy managers look to invest a top-100 pick in, LaRavia is well worth the risk as a late-round option.

Quentin Grimes accounted for 16 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one assist and two three-pointers in Monday’s exhibition against the Kings.

Going into training camp, many saw Grimes as a frontrunner for one of the two undecided spots in the Lakers’ starting lineup. He started Monday’s preseason opener, logging 19 minutes and shooting reliably alongside playmaker Luka Dončić. The concern is that Grimes offered little production beyond points, three-pointers and percentages. Hopefully, that won’t be the case for him once the games count.

Luka Dončić recorded 21 points (5-of-12 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday’s exhibition against the Kings.

Dončić got his work done early on Monday, playing 16 minutes in the first half and not seeing any action in the second. He delivered his usual performance, doing most of what he wanted as a scorer while also recording five turnovers. The Lakers didn’t have Austin Reaves on Monday, but that won’t change anything regarding Dončić’s fantasy outlook. He will be one of the top options to have rostered, regardless of league format, but the Lakers point guard will be most valuable in turnover-punt builds.

Darius Acuff Jr. recorded 19 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Monday’s exhibition against the Lakers.

As expected, Acuff started at point guard in the Kings’ preseason opener. The lottery pick out of Arkansas led the team in shot attempts, which was unsurprising since he logged 27 minutes and no other starter played more than 15. Acuff shot reasonably well from the field overall, but he went 1-of-4 from beyond the arc and finished with more turnovers (five) than assists (four). Efficiency can be an issue for rookie point guards, but it seems clear Acuff will be given every opportunity to work through those struggles.
