The Minnesota Timberwolves announced that guard Donte DiVincenzo is sidelined indefinitely due to a toe injury. His absence was confirmed ahead of the team's Monday matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Head Coach Chris Finch stated, "It's indefinite at this stage," noting that the team is awaiting further details on the injury and potential treatment options.

DiVincenzo, standing at 6-foot-4, had already missed two games prior to this announcement. The veteran guard joined the Timberwolves in June from the New York Knicks as part of a trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns. Prior to his injury, DiVincenzo was delivering solid performance stats, averaging 11 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, with an impressive 17.5 points per game over the six games leading up to his injury. DiVincenzo, who was shifted into the starting lineup on January 6, made a notable impact with a season-high 28 points against the Golden State Warriors on January 15.
