Donte DiVincenzo sustained a torn right Achilles tendon just 79 seconds into Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The Minnesota Timberwolves won the game 112-96, taking a 3-1 series lead. DiVincenzo went down at the 10:44 mark of the first quarter after missing a 3-point attempt. While moving toward the offensive glass, his right leg buckled.
He immediately grabbed the back of his foot and ankle. Minnesota called timeout and DiVincenzo summoned the training staff. He was assisted off the floor and ruled out shortly after. He departed the arena at halftime in a wheelchair. The 27-year-old had been a vital contributor in the series. He posted 12, 16 and 15 points across the first three games as the Timberwolves built their series advantage. DiVincenzo started all 82 regular-season games this year, averaging 12.2 points per night. He connected on 244 3-pointers, sixth-highest in the NBA, establishing himself as one of the league's most reliable shooting guards. DiVincenzo is in year three of a four-year, 46.8 million contract. He is set to carry a 12.5 million expiring salary next season.
