The Golden State Warriors bowed out in round two of the playoffs Friday night in a game that showcased former Villanova shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo’s fit with and value to the team.

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo was a solid fit with the popular franchise in his first season with the team, averaging 9.4 points, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the 2022-23 regular season while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from the field. His play slipped in the 2023 […]

Playing smaller doesn’t exactly seem a prudent way for the Golden State Warriors to even this series after Anthony Davis’ monstrous Game 1. His real impact extended even further than ridiculous numbers of 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks—a playoff line only accomplished by Tim Duncan back in the 2003 Finals before […]

The Golden State Warriors picked up a much needed 114-97 win over the Sacramento Kings in Game 3 of their first-round series to cut their deficit in the series down to 2-1.

Golden State Warriors great Stephen Curry has certainly done enough in his 14-year career to not worry about being replaced by someone else. Nevertheless, he accused teammate Donte DiVincenzo of stealing from his bag of tricks when executing a crafty drive and scoop shot to beat the buzzer at halftime, via ClutchPoints. The humorous exchange […]

The Golden State Warriors will face what amounts to a do-or-die Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings without Draymond Green. The league office dropped the hammer on Green Tuesday night, shocking the defending champions by suspending him for Thursday’s contest after he retaliated to Domantas Sabonis’ ankle grab by stomping on his chest midway through […]

Donte DiVincenzo was not pleased with the team effort on display by the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors had a chance to further cement their place as the No. 5 seed when they played a Nikola Jokic-less Nuggets team in Denver on Sunday. But despite a 10-point lead in the first quarter, they still managed […]

Andrew Wiggins’ status moving forward remains unknown as he continues to be away from the Golden State Warriors. If he does end up sitting out the rest of the reason, however, Steve Kerr has a plan in mind. Speaking to reporters ahead of their showdown with the San Antonio Spurs in Friday–which is the 21st […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry couldn’t hold back his delight after watching Donte DiVincenzo save his shot against the New Orleans Pelicans in the most epic way possible.

Very few people have the privilege of saying that they once played alongside the greatest shooter of all time at one point in their career. This is exactly the case for Donte DiVincenzo, who joined the Golden State Warriors this summer as a free agent. The 26-year-old recently admitted that it was a curse to […]

The Golden State Warriors downsized for the second straight game on Thursday night. Unlike against the Oklahoma City Thunder 48 hours earlier, though, the defending champions went super small in another matchup with the rival Memphis Grizzlies, starting Jordan Poole and Donte DiVincenzo next to Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with both Andrew […]

As expected, there was no shortage of intensity on Thursday night when the Golden State Warriors hosted the Los Angeles Clippers. At one point, Dubs guard Donte DiVincenzo ended up on the receiving end of a wayward elbow from Kawhi Leonard, and it really looked like it hurt. DiVincenzo played some straight-up defense on the […]

Here are three key reactions from the fatigued, short-handed Warriors’ final game before a much-needed respite in advance of the season’s stretch run. Bench […]

The Golden State Warriors surely miss Stephen Curry as he remains sidelined with injury. But the team didn’t miss him as badly on Monday night thanks to Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and another standout game from Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo did his best Steph Curry impression against the Washington Wizards. He drained five three-pointers on the […]

The Golden State Warriors, currently in the middle of an eight-game homestand, have a golden opportunity to make up ground in the Western Conference standings amid Stephen Curry’s shoulder injury. However, their game on Monday night is far from a cakewalk, with Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks determined to shake off their season-long inconsistencies. […]

His performance marked the third time in his last five appearances that DiVincenzo has connected on five three-pointers, […]

The Golden State Warriors’ playing rotation is due some much-needed changes against the Sacramento Kings. No matter how Steve Kerr tweaks his lineups or how his team plays on Monday, though, expect more changes to come the next time Golden State takes the floor at Chase Center—at least as long as Donte DiVincenzo continues progressing. […]

Golden State Warriors fans will have to wait longer before they get a glimpse again of Donte DiVincenzo donning the team’s threads on the court.

The Golden State Warriors are dealing with a handful of injuries right now as they embark on what is expected to be a grueling title defense this season. One player that is now set to spend some time on the sidelines is new Dubs recruit Donte DiVincenzo, who is currently dealing with a concerning hamstring […]

Signing with the Golden State Warriors took Donte DiVincenzo by surprise. After being dealt to the Sacramento Kings at last season’s trade deadline, DiVincenzo assumed he’d found a long-term home 90 minutes northeast of Chase Center. But the Kings ultimately went a different direction in the backcourt, pulling the former first-round pick’s qualifying offer to […]

The Golden State Warriors lost a handful of players in the offseason following what was a truly epic title run in 2021-22. They did add a few new faces into the mix for their upcoming title defense, though, and one of them happens to be one-time NBA champ Donte DiVincenzo. Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala had […]

The blend of roster continuity and lineup uncertainty facing the Golden State Warriors is one that excites Steve Kerr. No team in basketball boasts a more cohesive, dynamic group of top players than the reigning champions’ “foundational six,” yet rotational questions abound as their title defense dawns. Here are three hottest burning questions Golden State […]

There’s no mystery surrounding the Golden State Warriors’ starting five nor sixth man as the season rapidly approaches. Steve Kerr’s “foundational six” are set in stone, comprising arguably the best blend of talent, cohesion and tangible chemistry among all teams’ top players league-wide. But Golden State won’t win back-to-back titles for the second time during […]

The Sacramento Kings have seen a lot of turnover on their roster over the past few months. They made one of the bigger deals at the 2021 NBA trade deadline when they traded for Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers, giving up young star Tyrese Haliburton in the process. It didn’t lead the Kings to […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t run it back after all. But just because the defending champions’ departures in free agency leave their bench completely overhauled doesn’t necessarily mean the Warriors’ depth is any less impressive than it was last season. Just ask Steve Kerr. In a sprawling Q&A with Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Kerr extolled […]

After rocking the basketball world by winning their fourth NBA championship in eight years, the Golden State Warriors have re-established themselves as the team to beat in the NBA. Stephen Curry won his first NBA Finals MVP, Klay Thompson made his long anticipated return to the court and Draymond Green was back to his old […]

The Golden State Warriors are ready to defend their title. Barely three weeks after the start of free agency, the reigning champions’ roster is nearing its final form. Kevon Looney is back, Gary Payton II and Otto Porter are out, and Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green are in. Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga look poised […]

The last time the Sacramento Kings made the playoffs was in 2006. No current player has ever faced them in the postseason and the team is trying to end its playoff drought after 16 seasons. In 2021-22, the Kings went 30-52, leaving them four wins away from the play-in tournament. During the offseason, the franchise […]

The Golden State Warriors’ offseason is essentially over less than a month before it started. JaMychal Green is set to sign with the reigning champions after completing a buyout from the Oklahoma City Thunder, giving Golden State its 12th guaranteed contract. The Warriors aren’t rushing Andre Iguodala into a decision on retirement, content to hold […]

The Golden State Warriors aren’t quite running it back in 2022-23. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are entrenched with the defending champions, of course, with the extension-eligible Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole soon set to join them. The Warriors re-signed Kevon Looney to a team-friendly three-year deal in free agency, while Moses Moody […]

It was barely more than a year ago that Donte DiVincenzo started every regular season game for the Milwaukee Bucks, entering the playoffs as a key member of the core surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. Not only was he going to play a crucial role in Milwaukee’s quest for a championship, but DiVincenzo seemed on the verge […]

The Golden State Warriors weren’t quite able to retain their championship roster this summer after all. Key reserves Gary Payton II and Otto Porter earned big-money raises on the open market that proved too expensive for Golden State, while bit players like Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Lee and Nemanja Bjelica decided to continue their careers elsewhere. […]

Donte DiVincenzo essentially had his pick of free agency destinations. What team in the league wouldn’t want a proven two-way guard with obvious room to grow on a contract worth less than the taxpayer mid-level exception? DiVincenzo chose to sign with the Golden State Warriors, though, filling a void on the roster left after Gary […]

The Golden State Warriors lost a number of key rotational players in free agency recently, and there’s no denying that they’re going to have to find a way to replace the likes of Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., Nemanja Bjelica, and Juan Toscano-Anderson ahead of the new season. One step towards this objective is […]

After the Golden State Warriors lost Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II to free agency, they’ve managed to add another intriguing talent. The Dubs have inked former Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo to a two-year, $9.3 million deal with a player option in the second season. Via Shams: Free agent Donte DiVincenzo has agreed […]

The Atlanta Hawks have an eventful offseason ahead of them. The franchise was seemingly ahead of its developmental curve as they burst on the scene in 2021. The Hawks embraced the villain role and made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Unfortunately, the franchise took a step back this season by going […]

When the Milwaukee Bucks acquired Grayson Allen in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies in August, the writing was on the wall for Donte DiVincenzo’s tenure with the current defending NBA champions. Few could be surprised to see though, that the team who ended up trading for DiVincenzo is the same team that tried to […]

The Sacramento Kings swung a move for Donte DiVincenzo during last year’s trade deadline likely with the hopes of turning him into a young piece for their future. Now that vision is starting to look a little bleak. According a report from Kings insider James Ham for ESPN 1320, there’s growing animosity between the front […]
