Injury report

Minnesota Timberwolves

  • Donte DiVincenzoOut· back Apr 1
    Report note

    DiVincenzo underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles in late April, but there's optimism he'll be able to contribute for the Timberwolves later this year. Although the door is open for the sharpshooter to make a late-season return, he's highly unlikely to be a factor in fantasy leagues in 2026-27.
