DONTE DIVINCENZO NEWS

Moves back to bench DiVincenzo will come off the bench Wednesday against the Bucks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact DiVincenzo had 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in a spot start Monday against the Bulls, but he'll head back to the bench with Justin Holiday (illness) back in the lineup. Divencenzo should still be involved as a reserve against his former team Wednesday.

Solid in starting role DiVincenzo recorded 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Bulls.

Impact DiVincenzo made his first start as a King due to Justin Holiday's (illness) absence. Although he's a bit buried in the depth chart, the Kings have little to play for since they are likely out of the playoff hunt. Teams out of the running usually dig deeper into their rosters to see what talent they have moving forward, so DiVencezo could benefit in the closing weeks.

Starting Monday DiVincenzo is in the starting lineup Monday against Chicago, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact DiVincenzo is starting in place of Justin Holiday, who's out with a non-COVID-related illness. This will be the Villanova product's first start with Sacramento this season. DiVincenzo is currently posting 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds across 29 outings.

Hits double figures again DiVincenzo finished with 13 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes Monday in the Kings' 131-115 loss to the Knicks.

Impact For the third game in a row, DiVincenzo reached double figures in scoring, though the 13 points represent his biggest total during that span. The 25-year-old probably can't be counted on to provide much more offense when the likes of De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Harrison Barnes are all healthy, but DiVincenzo at least typically supplements his modest scoring outputs with solid across-the-board production. He's averaging 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.6 steals since joining the Kings at the trade deadline.

MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts solid stat line Monday DiVincenzo logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 131-110 win over the Thunder.

Impact DiVincenzo's output was particularly impressive given the fact that he was on the court for only 22 minutes. The guard did much of his damage from beyond the arc, drilling a season-high four three-pointers en route to his second-highest scoring output of the campaign. DiVincenzo had reached double-digit scoring just once in his previous seven games prior to Monday, and aside from a five-steal outing Feb. 14, his production in that category has been hit or miss. He probably profiles as a better option in deeper leagues than 12-team leagues or shallower.

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes versatile contributions DiVincenzo produced 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and five steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to the Nets.

Impact In recording five steals, DiVincenzo matched his career high. He supplemented the defensive effort with strong rebounding and his first double-digit scoring effort as a King. He led Sacramento in minutes off the bench and appears in line to co-lead the second unit with Davion Mitchell.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Available Saturday DiVincenzo (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact DiVincenzo was dealt from the Bucks to the Kings as part of a four-team trade Thursday, and he'll be available to debut for his new organization two days later. It's not yet clear whether DiVincenzo or Justin Holiday will serve as a starter on the wing, but the Villanova product should have plenty of opportunities after averaging 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game to begin the season.

Dealt to Kings DiVincenzo, along with Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson, was traded to the Kings in a four-team deal Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Bucks acquired Serge Ibaka, cash a...

Impact The Bucks infamously tried to trade DiVincenzo to the Kings before last season in a deal that would have brought Bogdan Bogdanovic to Milwaukee, but the league stepped in and deemed there was tampering involved, which resulted in the deal being shut down. More than a year later with two more teams involved, DiVincenzo has landed in Sacramento. DiVincenzo slots in as an option on the wing for the new-look Kings, though it's not clear if he'll usurp Justin Holiday in the starting five. Either way, DiVincenzo should at least reach the 20.1 minutes he was seeing in Milwaukee, which resulted in averages of 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists. He showed much more upside last season when he averaged 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes.

Impact DiVincenzo logged a season-high 28 minutes but failed to positively channel his newfound time into more production. Veteran backup point guard George Hill notwithstanding, DiVincenzo was the only Buck to see meaningful run off the bench. He takes on a healthy sixth-man role anytime Pat Connaughton slides into the starting lineup.
