- In an extensive interview with Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo admitted he found himself thinking about how well he played for the Knicks last season and found it difficult to move on after being traded to Minnesota right before training camps opened. The 27-year-old credited an unlikely source for helping change his mentality and rediscover his “joy and love of the game” over the past couple weeks — Dennis Schröder reached out to DiVincenzo for tips on how to get acclimated with Golden State (DiVincenzo’s former club). Then the veteran guard gave DiVincenzo some advice of his own. “He was just straightforward with his words,” DiVincenzo said. “He said that it’s hard. You just have to go out and do it. No matter where you’re at, just be you and just go do it. You look yourself in the mirror and be like, all right, the situation is the situation. Let last year go. This year is this year.”
