Donte DiVincenzo Injury Update: Available for Timberwolves After Face Injury Scare
Donte DiVincenzo of the Minnesota Timberwolves experienced a facial injury during Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets after taking an elbow to the face from Collin Sexton. Despite the injury scare, DiVincenzo returned to finish the game, contributing 18 points, three rebounds, four assists, and one steal in over 31 minutes. His face showed visible discomfort, causing social media buzz, but he appeared to be minimally bothered by the incident. DiVincenzo's injury occurred early in the second quarter, but he was able to check back into the game. Coming into Saturday, he had been averaging 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, with shooting splits of 43.2% from the field, 41.9% from three, and 85.7% from free throw line. DiVincenzo, in his eighth NBA season and second with the Timberwolves, was part of a lineup change this season, moving into the starting point guard role after being acquired in a trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns. He is now listed as available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after the injury scare.
