The Minnesota Timberwolves turned their Game 6 arrival into a tribute for guard Donte DiVincenzo, who suffered a torn Achilles in Game 4 of the team’s first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets.
DiVincenzo’s injury marked a significant loss for Minnesota during its postseason run. The guard had been part of the Timberwolves’ rotation before being sidelined by the Achilles tear.
A Show of Support
By acknowledging DiVincenzo as the team arrived for Game 6, the Timberwolves offered a public show of support for their injured teammate. The gesture came as Minnesota continued its first-round series against Denver without him available.
The injury occurred in Game 4, forcing DiVincenzo out of the matchup and ending his participation in the series. Minnesota’s tribute underscored his place within the group as the Timberwolves prepared for another pivotal playoff game.
