DONTE DiVincenzo

Minnesota has already played six games this season without DiVincenzo: an L against the Bulls on October 16, an L against the Pistons on October 14, a W against the Knicks on October 12, a W against the Heat on October 10, an L against the Pacers on October 7 and a W against the Bucks on October 5. In each of those games DiVincenzo logged 0.0 minutes, 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, confirming he has not been available at all through the start of 2026-27. The Timberwolves are navigating the schedule without his minutes at guard while his Achilles heals.

DiVincenzo played all 82 games for Minnesota last season, averaging 30.4 minutes, 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks, with 1.4 turnovers a night. He shot 40.6% from the field, 37.9% from three and 74.3% from the free-throw line, posting a 56.7 true shooting percentage on a 16.4 usage rate. His plus-minus of +4.1 reflected a positive two-way impact in a full, healthy season before this year's Achilles setback. Those numbers are from the 2025-26 season and represent his most recent full-season form with the Timberwolves.

DiVincenzo's final run of game action came in Minnesota's playoff series against Denver last spring. On April 20, 2026, he put up 16 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in 30.6 minutes in a win. Three days later, on April 23, he had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in 32.9 minutes, also in a win. He added 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 31.4 minutes in an April 18 loss, and closed the series on April 25 with 1 assist in just 1.3 minutes in a win. Those four games against Denver are his last recorded action on the floor.

On October 5, 2026, Jon Krawczynski's Northwest Notes column grouped DiVincenzo's name with Brazile, JJJ, Peterson and SGA. No further detail from that mention is available beyond the players being discussed together in the same notes piece, so any read on what it means for DiVincenzo specifically should be treated as unconfirmed. As with any notes-column mention, it is not a report of a trade or roster move, just a column that discussed him alongside those other names on that date.

DiVincenzo remains on Minnesota's roster, wearing No. 0 as a guard listed at 6-4, 203 pounds. He is 29 years old, in his eighth NBA season, and came out of Villanova. His 2025-26 season with the Timberwolves, in which he played all 82 games, is the most recent full picture of what he brings when healthy. Until his Achilles clears him for game action, with an estimated return of April 2, 2027, his spot on the floor remains unfilled by him specifically, even as he stays with the team through his recovery.
