Donte Divincenzo de Timberwolves settled on the star of the Italian national team originally on Athlon Sports.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have a group of talented players, reversed by Anthony Edwards. They are also stacked with players who perform on the international scene, with Rudy Gobert playing for France, Edwards for Team USA and Joe Ingles for Australia.
Now they have another player representing a country, Donte Divincenzo, who plays for Italy. This is great news for the 28 -year -old goalkeeper because he could present his talents as a star player for a team. Italy has talented names, like its compatriot NBA Simone Fontecchio. However, Divincenzo is the biggest name.
Throughout his career, Divincenzo was one of the most reliable players on his team. It could be for Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks or Timberwolves. He finds ways to contribute and help the team succeed.
Now he takes his talents to the Italian national team. It will be his first time to play for them, and he is the most notable name on the list. Since it has the green light to shoot in this list, this could be a significant confidence booster for the Timberwolves goalkeeper before the NBA 2025-26 season.
Divincenzo could enter the 2025-26 season with confidence
With the representatives of the Italian national team, Divincenzo could enter the league with immense confidence. It is a huge boost for the Timberwolves, who will need his production. Since Nickeil Alexander-Walker has left the team, he will have a more important role.

Terrence Shannon Jr. should be placed in Alexander-Walker’s place in a transparent way, but that will be due to Divincenzo being the reliable relief guard. He is the perfect complementary piece to all his teammates because of his desire to be an actor.
This is why it will be interesting to see how he does with Italy, because he will have a big role. He will probably be a ball of the ball for the team, withdraw mainly shots and set up teammates like Fontecchio.
The Timberwolves will appreciate a great summer for Divincenzo
As long as Divincenzo works well and remains in good health, the Timberwolves should be satisfied with its visit with the Italian national team. Other players on the Timberwolves have already done so, so he is allowed to continue playing for his chosen national team.

If he can become more confident and build good habits while playing for Italy, it would be great for Timberwolves when the 2025-26 season will start. Of course, the threat of an injury is there, but Divincenzo will do its best to play as hard as possible without injuring yourself.
The Timberwolves will be happy if he continues to shake the rust and be ready for the regular 2025-26 season. It will be a busy off-season for Divincenzo, but it is ready to continue playing high level basketball.
