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.

The Timberwolves have ruled out Donte DiVincenzo with a toe injury ahead of Friday night's game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. DiVincenzo is dealing with a "left great toe sprain" that he suffered very late in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors.

Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable to face his former team Friday with a sprained right thumb, while Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo will miss his return to Madison Square Garden with a toe injury.

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 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.

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely with a toe injury, the team announced Monday. DiVincenzo, 27, suffered a Grade 3 left great toe sprain in Wednesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Karl-Anthony Towns of the Knicks has a bone chip in his right thumb, but is expected to try to play through the injury.

Kendrick Perkins already made it clear he thought the Minnesota Timberwolves trade of Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo was among the worst in NBA history. Perkins is now doubling down.

The Timberwolves fumbled it all, says Kendrick Perkins, due to their decision to trade away Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are making a Julius Randle realization that the New York Knicks know all too well, especially with the recent NBA Trade Rumors.
