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. What his absence changes
Freeman exited Saturday's exhibition with a shoulder injury and will now miss Monday's preseason game. His next chance to get out there will come Wednesday against the Pistons.
"[Kuminga] is dealing with a little bit of bumps and bruises that we're just being overly cautious with," said head coach Chris Finch when asked why Kuminga would miss Monday's exhibition. It sounds like there's a decent chance Kuminga will be able to get back out there for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Pistons.
Zikarsky will be inactive for Monday's road tilt, presumably for rest purposes. The young center's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pistons.
Shannon will be unavailable at Madison Square Garden after starting Saturday against the Heat. Across three preseason games, the wing is averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per contest.
