Rob Dillingham becomes even more important with DiVincenzo's recent injury

It’s unclear if DiVincenzo will miss time in the regular season due to this injury. Regardless, given this is DiVincenzo’s second toe injury this year, it’s clearly a recurring problem. Notably, DiVincenzo missed 19 games with a toe injury this past season.
Second-year guard Rob Dillingham was already primed for a bigger role with Nickeil Alexander-Walker leaving in free agency and Mike Conley aging. Now, after DiVincenzo’s injury, Dillingham’s role will be even more crucial.
