Donte’s Den: Why Wolves’ guard could be Minnesota’s voice of reason
DiVincenzo is helping steady a young Timberwolves locker room while he recovers from a ruptured right Achilles, teammates and coaches said.
- Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo, 29, has emerged as a locker-room bridge while recovering from a ruptured Achilles suffered during the playoffs in April.
- DiVincenzo considers himself an "old soul," and because he is not currently competing for minutes, he offers teammates a neutral, non-competitive outlet to vent frustrations about playing time and contracts.
- Serving as a bridge between players and coaches, DiVincenzo has grown close to Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards. "I'd rather you talk to me, get it off your chest," DiVincenzo said.
- These relationships allow DiVincenzo to communicate freely with teammates. "And as you develop that trust, when youre able to say whatever, it just makes everything easier," DiVincenzo said.
- With fresh faces like LaMelo Ball on the roster, the Timberwolves rely on these bonds to maintain stability throughout an 82-game NBA campaign, though DiVincenzo acknowledged opinions may clash.
