Here’s the latest widely reported update:
- Donte DiVincenzo has been diagnosed with a torn (ruptured) right Achilles tendon sustained in Game 4 of Minnesota’s playoff series. He is out for the remainder of the postseason and is expected to miss the 2026-27 season while he undergoes surgery and rehab. [Sources: ESPN/Shams Charania via multiple outlets, including CBS Sports and RotoWire reporting on April 25, 2026][1][2][3]
Additional context:
- The injury occurred non-contact, early in the game, and prompted an immediate re-evaluation and official diagnosis confirming a torn Achilles. This typically entails a lengthy rehab timeline with potential impact on next season’s timeline.[3][5]
- Minnesota is expected to rely on players like Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland to absorb DiVincenzo’s minutes during the playoffs, and teams often plan around the recovery trajectory after surgery.[2][3]
