MINNEAPOLIS — Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo will not require surgery and will be re-evaluated in three weeks as he recovers from a left great toe injury he suffered on Jan. 15, the team said in a statement Friday.

DiVincenzo had replaced Mike Conley in the starting lineup just six games ago and was stellar during that stretch, averaging 17.5 points on 42.1% shooting from three, along with 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

The 27-year-old guard has flirted with triple doubles in two of Minnesota’s last three outings. DiVincenzo tallied 28 points, nine assists, six rebounds, one steal and zero turnovers in the Wolves’ loss to the Warriors on Wednesday, making him the first player in franchise history to post such a line.

The Timberwolves led by nine in the fourth quarter in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee, and were up 95-90 after Anthony Edwards canned a jumper with 4:30 to play. But Memphis stormed back to seize control via an 11-0 run over the ensuing 2:10 to go up six.
