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.

MIN Guard #5

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.

Rui Hachimura finished with 21 points, five rebounds, a blocked shot and four triples across 15 minutes in Sunday’s 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.

Hachimura moved from crypto.com Arena to Intuit Dome in the offseason after inking a two-year deal with the Clippers, and he figures to be an integral part of the team’s offensive gameplan. Hachimura’s current ADP suggests he can be had in the ninth or 10th rounds of fantasy drafts, making him a strong value.

Keaton Wagler finished Sunday’s win over the Warriors with 15 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, a blocked shot and a triple across 30 minutes.

The rookie led all players in minutes and FGA (15). He shot just 3-of-15 from the floor and 1-of-11 from beyond the arc, but he came in clutch when it counted. Wagler scored nine points in the final frame, including a go-ahead step-back 19-footer with 14 seconds left to give the Clippers a 102-101 lead which they would not relinquish. Wagler should be heavily involved in LA’s rotation from Day 1, making him an interesting, late-round selection in 12-team fantasy basketball leagues.

Lauri Markkanen finished Sunday’s win over Denver with a game-high 17 points to go with two rebounds, a steal and three triples across 14 minutes.

Markkanen didn’t need much court time to get his buckets, and he led all scorers in the 2026-27 preseason opener. Production has never been a concern for Markkanen, as “The Finnisher” is a strong scorer, rebounder and shooter. Availability is the biggest concern for fantasy managers, but given his first-round upside, Markkanen is shaping up to be a draft-day value in Rounds 3-5.

Jaxson Hayes finished Sunday’s win over the Nuggets with two points, three rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots across 19 minutes.

Hayes joined the Jazz in the offseason after Utah traded Walker Kessler to the Lakers, and Hayes will serve as a backup option at center as he’s done throughout his career. He’s got appeal in deep leagues as a blocks specialist, but he’s unlikely to see big minutes as Utah has a deep frontcourt rotation.

Darryn Peterson went 1-of-5 and finished with three points in Sunday’s preseason win over the Nuggets.

Peterson also missed both of his three-point attempts. Though it was a poor effort offensively, Peterson was solid on the defensive end with six boards and a steal, and he chipped in two dimes to round out his final stat line. Better days are ahead for the No. 2 pick, and fantasy managers don’t need to read much into this performance.

Trevon Brazile finished Sunday’s 109-97 loss to the Jazz with seven points, three rebounds, two blocked shots and a triple across 20 minutes.

The rookie out of Arkansas tied Julian Strawther for team lead in minutes, and he had a serviceable night, going 3-of-4 from the field and making an impact on defense. Denver doesn’t boast a deep bench, especially in the frontcourt, so Brazile has a real chance to earn meaningful rotation minutes in Year 1.

Nikola Jokić finished Sunday’s preseason loss with three points, three rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 15 minutes.

Jokić got some light run in the preseason opener, but he already has one of the season’s best highlights. The three-time MVP was stuck in the corner with Lauri Markkanen on him and made a ridiculous cross-court, behind-the-back pass to Cam Johnson, who splashed a triple from the opposite corner. Joker is an easy Top-2 pick in fantasy hoops for his ability to stuff the stat sheet, and Sunday’s highlight-reel assist is just a small taste of how the elite facilitator can get teammates involved.

Max Strus (foot) exited Sunday’s exhibition against the Warriors during the first half.

While the Clippers won their preseason opener on Sunday, beating the Warriors 104-101, Strus’ injury dampened the mood. He played five minutes before leaving the game with a non-contact right foot injury. The plan is to evaluate Strus’ foot when the team returns to Los Angeles, but he could miss an extended period of time. With Brandon Ingram (heel/Achilles) already out, the Clippers don’t need to take another hit to their wing depth.

Collin Murray-Boyles tallied six points (3-of-10 FGs), nine rebounds and one assist in Saturday’s exhibition against the Heat.

Despite the expectation that he’ll come off the bench, Murray-Boyles has a skill set that can make him valuable in category leagues. He didn’t shoot well on Saturday night, but the second-year forward/center led the Raptors in rebounds. Murray-Boyles didn’t record any defensive stats in his 20 minutes, but that shouldn’t be the norm for him once the games count. Managers in category leagues should benefit if they grab Murray-Boyles with a late-round pick.
