Timberwolves Exit in Six to Spurs With DiVincenzo Facing Long Achilles Rehab

Exit interviews highlight a need for steadier chemistry.

Overview

  • Minnesota lost to the San Antonio Spurs in six games in the West semifinals, ending the season one round earlier than last year.
  • Guard Donte DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles in the first round and says surgery went well, with recovery likely to stretch into the 2026-27 season.
  • His absence removed a key floor spacer on the perimeter, as Anthony Edwards said the team missed his shooting while he saw frequent traps.
  • Edwards returned from a left knee hyperextension without his usual burst and said he will target strength work for his knees, ankles, and hips this summer.
  • Coach Chris Finch and players cited a moody locker room that undercut game-plan execution, making consistency a top priority for the offseason.
