Donte DiVincenzo Withdraws from EuroBasket Due to Persistent Turf Toe

Donte DiVincenzo has announced he will not play for the Italian national team in EuroBasket this summer after his turf toe condition, which sidelined him for 18 games last NBA season, flared up during practice. Despite being granted Italian citizenship and expressing commitment to the national team's future, the Timberwolves guard made the difficult decision for precautionary reasons. His NBA team expects him to be ready for the upcoming season, after he averaged 11.7 points and shot 39.7% on 3-pointers for them off the bench last season.
