Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo felt 'emotional' and 'unwanted' after KAT trade, former Knicks' teammates say Villanova Knicks says Donte DiVincenzo felt 'emotional' and 'unwanted' after trade, but they're looking forward to seeing their 'brother'
Nearly double-doubles DiVincenzo ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 109-80 win over the Lakers.
Impact DiVincenzo finished one assist shy of a double-double in what was one of his best performances of the season. This could provide a boost to his confidence, as he's had a tough campaign so far. Through 20 regular-season appearances, DiVincenzo has shot 36.0 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Not starting Wednesday DiVincenzo won't start Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Impact With Mike Conley sidelined, DiVincenzo drew two straight starts but failed to make a major impact. Conley is back, so DiVincenzo will revert to his usual reserve role. The sharpshooter is shooting only 32.2 percent from deep this season.
NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Rough night despite start DiVincenzo posted three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Rockets.
Impact DiVincenzo remained in the starting lineup after Mike Conley was once again ruled out with a toe issue. Despite the promotion, DiVincenzo struggled to find any rhythm, logging just 21 minutes. It's been a disappointing start to his career in Minnesota, currently averaging 9.2 points, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 25.9 minutes per game. It should be noted that he is shooting a career-low 35.1 percent from the field. Should that number trend upwards, there is a decent chance his offensive production should follow suit.
NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting lineup Sunday DiVincenzo will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Impact The 27-year-old will replace Nickeil Alexander-Walker and make his first start of the season with Mike Conley (toe) sidelined. DiVincenzo has averaged 6.8 points, 2.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 30.0 percent from the field across 23.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Reaches double figures off bench DiVincenzo amassed 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Raptors.
Impact DiVincenzo has started to find his groove off the bench for the Timberwolves, again providing a lift offensively on the second unit in Thursday's defeat. DiVincenzo finished as one of two Minnesota players with at least three threes and has now surpassed the double-digit scoring mark in two straight outings.
NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go DiVincenzo (back) has been cleared to play Monday against the Raptors.
Impact DiVincenzo was added to the injury report as questionable due to back spasms, but the issue isn't significant enough to hold him out of this one. He's coming off a solid 15-point performance Sunday against the Suns.
NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Still dealing with back spasms DiVincenzo (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact DiVincenzo was a late addition to the injury report Sunday due to back spasms, but he played through the issue and finished with 15 points, his second-highest mark of the season. Mike Conley (toe) is also questionable, so if both guards are sidelined, NIckeil Alexander-Walker would be in store for a major workload against Toronto.

Good to go Sunday DiVincenzo (back) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Impact DiVincenzo was a late addition to the injury report Sunday due to back spasms, though he will seemingly play through the issue against Phoenix. The 27-year-old has yet to miss a game with his new club, though he has struggled thus far and is averaging 8.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting only 33.6 percent from the field across 25.7 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings.
NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Late addition to injury report DiVincenzo is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to back spasms.
Impact DiVincenzo is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. He's averaged 19.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances. If he's downgraded to out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see an increased role, while Rob Dillingham could carve out a larger role in the rotation.
NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Poor outing in loss DiVincenzo racked up two points (1-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to Portland.
Impact DiVincenzo has now tallied just five total points over his last two outings. The 27-year-old guard has had a poor start to the season since being traded to Minnesota, averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 26.3 minutes across 12 appearances. Alarmingly, DiVincenzo is shooting just 33.9 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three.
NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Strong two-way effort DiVincenzo finished Monday's 114-93 victory over the Hornets with 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes.
Impact DiVincenzo took advantage of a favorable matchup, turning in arguably his best all-around performance of the season. He continues to share the point guard role with Mike Conley, with both players providing value to the team. An injury to Conley would thrust DiVincenzo into a role similar to that which we saw him in down the stretch last season in New York. As for right now, he should be a lock to see close to 25 minutes per night.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Shooting woes from deep in win DiVincenzo ended with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings.
Impact DiVincenzo struggled from beyond the arc for a second consecutive game, and he has shot 3-for-14 from deep over his first two regular-season outings. The 27-year-old was the first man off the bench alongside Naz Reid, though he was unable to effect the game outside of his nine points.

Impact DiVincenzo missed the Timberwolves' final preseason game against the Nuggets due to rest purposes. He will make his Minnesota regular-season debut Tuesday after being traded by the Knicks along with Julius Randle in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns in late September. Across 81 regular-season games (63 starts) during the 2023-24 campaign, DiVincenzo averaged a career-high 15.5 points along with 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 29.1 minutes per contest.

Impact DiVincenzo will get the night off along with the majority of Minnesota's usual rotation players. Look for Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon, Josh Minott and Daishen Nix to see sizable workloads in the backcourt as a result.

Records 17 points DiVincenzo posted 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-13 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and a steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseasom loss to the Bulls.
Impact DiVincenzo struggled with his shot on Wednesday, but his new role as the sixth man for the Timberwolves looks secure. DiVincenzo's skill set will allow him to fill in at several positions, and his potential is uncapped despite the reserve role to begin the season.
