Overview

• Multiple outlets floated a speculative package of Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele to Minnesota for Donte DiVincenzo, framing it as a possible December move due to trade-eligibility rules.
• The Athletic’s Fred Katz recounted that DiVincenzo warned Timberwolves teammates during an anonymous player poll not to name Tom Thibodeau as the league’s worst coach, underscoring his loyalty to his former Knicks boss.
• DiVincenzo remains a Timberwolves rotation guard with reduced usage compared with his 2023–24 Knicks breakout, with reported averages last season around 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
• The guard was dealt with Julius Randle to Minnesota in the preseason blockbuster for Karl‑Anthony Towns, a swap that preceded both teams reaching their conference finals last season.
• Reporting also notes the Knicks previously explored a DiVincenzo return without reaching a deal, and New York has since replaced Tom Thibodeau with Mike Brown.
