Donte DiVincenzo reflects on Timberwolves’ ‘moodiness’ after playoff exit

Donte DiVincenzo is aware that the Minnesota Timberwolves have some internal things to work out following their playoff exit from the West Semifinals in the six-game series against the San Antonio Spurs.

DiVincenzo had to watch his team from the sidelines after suffering a torn Achilles in the first round against the Denver Nuggets. Minnesota missed his presence on the perimeter, running out of gas as San Antonio dominated them in the series-deciding Game 6 on Friday night.

DiVincenzo reflected on the Timberwolves’ 2025-26 campaign during exit interviews on Saturday, per reporter Andrew Dukowitz. He has seen the team at its best and its worst, seeing they have to get past the mood shifts that tend to affect their overall form.

“I think it’s simple. You have a locker room that is extremely talented and you have a locker room that are not bad guys. When you have locker room full of good guys, you can get through those things. But once you have stuff in the locker room, that’s pointing the fingers at one another and stuff, and the guys aren’t connecting in the locker room like, you’re not always going to agree on anything,” DiVincenzo said.

“It’s 15, 17 players in there. You’re not gonna agree on everything. But when you have good guys, you have hard workers and you have talent like you can figure stuff out and you can tweet things throughout the season. And it just takes that humility to understand that whatever is needed, it needs to be done.”
