Injury report

Minnesota Timberwolves

  • Donte DiVincenzoOut· back Apr 2
    Report note

    DiVincenzo (Achilles) remains confident that he'll return during the 2026-27 season, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports. DiVincenzo is approaching six months since tearing his right Achilles during the first round of the playoffs and has been rehabbing with the expectation that he'll play at some point this season. The veteran guard has sought advice from Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard during his recovery, though Minnesota has yet to establish a timetable for his return.

  • Anthony EdwardsOut· back Dec 21Report updated ·
    Report note

    Edwards underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his right knee Thursday, the Timberwolves announced. Edwards underwent debridement surgery in Minnesota, though the team did not provide a timetable for his return. The star guard is expected to make a full recovery, with additional updates coming as he progresses through rehabilitation. Based on previous reporting from ESPN's Shams Charania, Edwards could miss up to two months. Edwards was off to a scorching start this season, averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals across four appearances.

Detroit Pistons

  • Jalen DurenOut· back Nov 24Report updated ·
    Report note

    Duren (hamstring) has begun on-court activity and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. Duren is progressing in his rehab after suffering a right hamstring strain Oct. 23, though he'll remain on the inactive list for at least the next two weeks while ramping up toward a return to game action. Paul Reed should continue to play a sizable role in Duren's stead.

  • Isaiah JoeOut· back Nov 17Report updated ·
    Report note

    Joe (hip) is out for Monday against the Wizards. Joe is missing a seventh consecutive contest with a bruised hip. His next chance to play comes Thursday in a road rematch with Washington.

  • Ugonna OnyensoDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Onyenso agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Thursday. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Onyenso appears poised to see run in the G League after putting pen to paper on a two-way deal. He'll likely face an uphill battle to carve out a role in the rotation, so Detroit will presumably allow him to continue his development with Motor City.
