For Donte DiVincenzo, the last 14 months have come with ups and downs as well as an extra layer of perseverance. Before recently signing with the Warriors on July 8 in free agency, DiVincenzo spent the last 25 games of the 2021–22 NBA season playing for the Kings after he was traded from the Bucks in a four-team trade that sent Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee on Feb. 10.
Prior to his short stint in Sacramento, DiVincenzo had only been back on the court for games for a little over a month. He missed the first two months of last season as he was still recovering from surgery to his left ankle after suffering the injury in the Bucks’ 113–84 Game 3 against the Heat in the opening round of the 2021 NBA playoffs.
