"The Timberwolves DiVincenzo Story Has a Personal Detail..."

So today we begin with the Timberwolves DiVincenzo story has a personal detail. Today we have multiple reports about the Timberwolves Dante DiVincenzo's recovery, which actually involves a Boston Celtic player, an Indiana Pacer player, and believe it or not, a Portland Trailblazer player, welcome back to the Timberwolves digest as always North America. I'm Dave DuBois and I bring you the latest Minnesota Timberwolves news trade reports, trade rumors, and of course, a whole lot of commentary. Now, as I mentioned, we've got multiple reports, uh, spanning the national basketball association about Dante DiVincenzo, we've got some comments for you all coming up from Tim Connolly, the Timberwolves president as well. Going to start today though, by asking you all a question, will Dante actually be a factor for the Timberwolves in the upcoming season? I want to know what your thoughts, your opinions are. Of course, we all know that he went down with that ACL, that torn ACL injury against the Denver Nuggets in round one. Now DiVincenzo at this point has recently stated on numerous occasions that he plans on actually playing in the upcoming season, which of course would be a great thing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, if it's anything like Jason Tatum's recovery, my guess is we won't see Dante until after the all-star break, maybe about a month and a half to go in the season, that's when I would expect Dante to actually play. Now the Timberwolves haven't officially set a month yet in terms of when they think Dante will come back, but there have been indicators indicating, because that's what indicators do, indicating that it looks like he will be back, um, sometime after the NBA all-star break. He's, this is coming from Dante himself. He said the process has gone even better than he thought, and he does plan to play at some point this season for the Timberwolves. Love to get your thoughts, your opinions on Dante. Now, in terms of Dante's recovery, uh, as we all know, he tore his, uh, his ACL in April, so Jason Tatum has actually been helping him through the rehab process. And when I heard that, I thought, okay, that's great because we know Tatum actually came back a little sooner, uh, actually significantly sooner than a lot of people, uh, thought he would come back from. In addition to Tatum, there were several other players in the National Basketball Association of note that Dante has actually mentioned. That includes Tyrese Halliburton of the Indiana Pacers and Damian Lillard of the Portland Trailblazers. I guess it takes a community to, uh, to build a league. And apparently the community has rallied around Dante DiVincenzo in giving him some advice as he actually goes through his rehab process. Coming up, we've got some Tim Connolly statements as well for all of you. But first I want to put a special shout out to our sponsor of the Timberwolves Digest today. And that of course is Calshi.

For sponsoring the Timberwolves Digest. All right. So back to, uh, Dante DiVincenzo. Now we all know that he actually was one of the best players for the Wolves down the stretch last season. And I think it would absolutely be a big lift for this Minnesota Timberwolves team post NBA all-star game to get a player of Dante's caliber back. Especially if he comes back at, let's say 90% of where he was before he went down with that injury. Now we all know how these injuries go. That's not always the case. Sometimes it takes players a longer to come back. Sometimes it takes them a couple years before they get back to that level, but you just never know. And the way, uh, Dante was down the clutch for this Timberwolves team, it certainly could be interesting. So this is coming from Tim Connolly. He said, we didn't, we don't want to put any additional pressure on him, but we're, uh, cautiously optimistic that we're going to see Dante this season. And we know how much he brings to our team. Dante absolutely brings a lot to this Minnesota Timberwolves roster. And now I'm going to show you a picture of the starting roster. And when you think about this particular starting roster, and then you start to think about the players, um, that we have coming off of the bench and yes, I'm going to start off by saying Bones Highland, because I absolutely love what Bones Highland can do for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the other players that need to be mentioned as well include TJ and IO, of course, there are several other players on the Timberwolves roster who are going to make an impact on this team, but if you end up north of the all-star break and you can get 20 minutes out of Dante DiVincenzo a night, 20 quality minutes out of Dante DiVincenzo a night, combine that with the twin turbos of Bones Highland and IO. And then you mix in a little bit of TJ, Baron J and a couple of the other players on this Timberwolves roster. You have what could be an extraordinarily dangerous franchise when the playoffs actually start. All right. I would love to know what your thoughts, your opinions are on Dante DiVincenzo, assuming that he does come back post NBA all-star break. Do you believe that Dante will have a significant impact on the Minnesota Timberwolves team? I want to know what your thoughts, your opinions are North America. All right. Thanks so much for tuning in to the Timberwolves Digest. As always, I'm Dave DeBawe wishing you all a tremendous rest of your sports viewing day.
