How can Donte DiVincenzo be ineligible for Most Improved Player because he didn’t play enough minutes when we’re told repeatedly that Thibodeau plays his guys too many minutes. This must be a mistake. Someone get me the Minutes Police on the phone. – 5:54 PM

Donte DiVincenzo played in 81 games this season and averaged 29 minutes per game, but because he doesn’t meet the CBA’s requirement of at least 65 games played with at least 20 minutes on the court, he’s ineligible for Most Improved Player of the Year consideration. – 4:20 PM

Wanted to include Donte DiVincenzo on my MIP ballot. He played in 81 out of 82 games for the Knicks this year. Somehow he only got credit for playing in 64 games by the eligibility rules, that requires a player to log at least 20 minutes to have it count as a game played. C’mon. – 4:02 PM

Donte DiVincenzo only missed one game this season, but is ineligible for the Most Improved Player award.
To qualify for postseason awards, players must have played at least 65 games of at least 20 minutes.
DiVincenzo needed just nine more seconds of playing time 🤯 pic.twitter.com/QtBOHmTo68 – 3:40 PM

In his 52nd minute on the floor, Donte DiVincenzo got to the rim after a shot fake & drove baseline. He didn’t finish at the rim but the attention he drew allowed Josh Hart to get an open put-back and give NYK a 3 point lead w/20 seconds to play in OT. 52 minutes for DiVincenzo. – 3:47 PM

Donte DiVincenzo on top #Nets candidate Budenholzer: “In Atlanta he was president or something at the same time, so he’s seen everything. Whatever team gets him next is a really lucky team. And he deserves a spot to be back in the #NBA.” nypost.com/2024/04/13/spo… via @nypostsports – 12:44 AM

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: Donte DiVincenzo says one thing that’s ’not talked about enough’ is Julius Randle’s communication w/NYK teammates while he rehabbed and now, while he recovers from surgery. “He still checks in with everybody, he’s still locked in. And it means a lot from one of your leaders.” -via Twitter @IanBegley / April 14, 2024
