The Knicks shocked everyone by pulling off a trade for Karl-Anthony Towns in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo at the start of October, and that has transformed both teams. Towns was coming off an up-and-down playoff performance and there was plenty of debate about how good he really was,

After reaching the Western Conference Finals last season, the Timberwolves find themselves quickly at the precipice again. Much of this was by their own design; before the season began they disrupted everything they had built by trading Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

If the Minnesota Timberwolves decide to trade Julius Randle, the Charlotte Hornets would be a great destination.

The two Timberwolves, who were instrumental in last season's Knicks success, return to the Garden Friday night, but DiVincenzo is out with a toe sprain.

It’ll represent the durable DiVincenzo’s first DNP of the season for the T’wolves and puts a damper on an anticipated matchup between offseason trade partners.

Just as Donte DiVincenzo was heating up, the injury bug bites. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard is out indefinitely due to a left big toe injury he sustained on Jan. 15 against Golden State, ESPN reported Monday. DiVincenzo, whose foot has been placed in a boot, will receive additional opinions on treatment options in the coming days.

Just six games after moving into the starting lineup, Minnesota Timbewolves guard Donte DiVincenzo is sidelined indefinitely with a toe injury. The Timberwolves announced the injury Monday afternoon ahead of their Martin Luther King Jr.

There was no Villanova reunion. There was no anticipated spat with Rick Brunson to keep an eye on. Former fans didn’t have the chance to watch him play on the Garden floor during what has been a hot streak for the Delaware native.

The Timberwolves led by nine in the fourth quarter in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee, and were up 95-90 after Anthony Edwards canned a jumper with 4:30 to play. But Memphis stormed back to seize control via an 11-0 run over the ensuing 2:10 to go up six.

Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo is out indefinitely due to left big toe injury and will receive additional opinion, sources tell ESPN. DiVincenzo’s foot has been placed in a boot. He was averaging 17.5 points, 4.7 assists, 42% shooting on 3s as a starter in last 6 games. pic.twitter.com/Cb7QPa5MME
