Dillingham appeared to tweak his ankle after fouling Davion Mitchell with 50.1 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Nickeil Alexander-Walker subbed in for him, and Dillingham could be seen with a trainer on the Wolves bench.

Before his exit, Dillingham had already played a season-high 10 minutes with an expanded role in the absence of Mike Conley, who was ruled out before the game with a toe sprain. Dillingham had two points and an assist in the game.

The game was still in progress at the time of publication.
