In the NBA preseason meeting between Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks, the main protagonists were Donte DiVincenzo and Karl-Anthony Towns, who were included in a trade along with Julius Randle between both franchises, as they faced their former teams in these matches prior to the start of the 2024-25 harvest.
However, DiVincenzo was the one who took his departure from the Knicks quite personally and went all out with his former teammates. The guard even had a few words with Rick Brunson, Jalen Brunson’s father and the team’s technical assistant, which led to them being separated. The Knicks point guard spoke about it on his podcast and made his position clear on what happened between his former teammate and his father.
What does Brunson think about it?
Brunson, who was mediating the situation to prevent it from escalating, assured that this could have been avoided during the engagement. “This situation should have been handled better by both parties…” said the New York star, who also highlighted that they have been friends since their time at Villanova and that they can fight like a family.
For his part, Josh Hart also added that. When a player is traded he wants to go and prove that his former team made a mistake. “We have emotions, we have feelings, but at the end of the day, it’s always love,” said the Knicks forward about what happened with DiVincenzo in the game between New York and Minnesota.
