Timberwolves Injury Report
DiVincenzo is out for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to a left big toe sprain. DiVincenzo will miss Friday's contest against his former team due to a toe injury. Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Rob Dillingham are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. DiVincenzo's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Cleveland.
The Timberwolves transferred Newton to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday. Newton has logged just one minute for the Timberwolves since being claimed off waivers on Jan. 3. However, the 23-year-old guard should continue to receive increased playing time in the G League.
The Timberwolves recalled Dillingham from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday. Dillingham hasn't played in the NBA since Dec. 23 due to a right ankle sprain but returned to action in the G League on Monday. The rookie guard will likely compete for depth minutes in Minnesota's backcourt, as he is averaging 4.1 points and 1.8 assists in 10.1 minutes across his previous 10 NBA appearances.
Edwards finished Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Warriors with 28 points (7-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes. The fifth-year guard tied Donte DiVincenzo for the team scoring lead, but it wasn't quite enough. Edwards continues to impress from beyond the arc -- he's drained at least four three-pointers in six of the last seven games, averaging 32.4 points, 6.3 boards, 5.1 threes, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 48.0 percent from long distance.
DiVincenzo ended Wednesday's 116-115 loss to Golden State with 28 points (9-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 39 minutes. Facing the team he spent the 2022-23 campaign with, DiVincenzo has himself a revenge game and set a new season scoring high while tying Anthony Edwards for the team lead. DiVincenzo has started six straight games for Minnesota with Mike Conley moved to the bench, and the younger guard doesn't seem inclined to give the job back. Over that stretch, DiVincenzo is averaging 17.5 points, 5.3 boards, 4.7 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.5 steals while shooting 42.1 percent from long range.
Conley totaled seven points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 120-106 victory over the Wizards. Conley continues to trend down from a fantasy perspective, failing to reach double figures in scoring in his fourth straight contest. The veteran floor general is averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 threes in 22.0 minutes across his past five outings since being moved to Minnesota's bench. With Donte DiVincenzo playing well since heading to the first unit, Conley is starting to become a fringe hold in shallow fantasy leagues with diminished upside while with the second unit.
McDaniels racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 120-106 victory over the Wizards. Although McDaniels didn't make a major impact in the scoring department Monday, he came down with eight boards and a swat to give the Wolves a boost on the defensive end of the floor. The 24-year-old forward remains a locked-in starter in Minnesota, and he's a solid source of defensive stats while averaging 11.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.7 threes across his last seven outings.
Dillingham (ankle) posted 22 points (9-23 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during the Iowa Wolves' 128-114 G League loss to the Rip City Remix on Monday. Dillingham was assigned to the G League on Sunday as the final stage of his rehab following a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, which had sidelined the rookie guard since Dec. 23. While his counting stats were strong against Rip City, Dillingham struggled from deep and committed six turnovers. However, he was Iowa's only starter with a positive point differential. It's unclear what his next step will be, but given the Timberwolves recently benched veteran point guard Mike Conley in favor of Donte DiVincenzo, Dillingham may have a chance to carve out a consistent NBA role moving forward if he can prove he's back to 100 percent.
