Donte Divincenzo

In exit interviews, transparency in where players stand on their views toward an organization and the makings of it are always set up to be juicy. If news broke last week that Donte DiVincenzo was unhappy with the way the Sacramento Kings used him since his trade from the Milwaukee Bucks this February, his final conversation with media on Monday afternoon would not have been the wiser.

Donte DiVincenzo, and those within his circle, are claiming foul play against the Sacramento Kings. According to ESPN 1320's Kings insider, James Ham, DiVincenzo believes the Kings are purposefully not starting him in an attempt to lower his value this offseason. Ham discussed the news on this week's Kings Beat...

Donte DiVincenzo is upset with the Sacramento Kings over his role with the team since the trade deadline. Sacramento traded for DiVincenzo from the Milwaukee Bucks in a four-team deal at the deadline that also featured the Detroit Pistons and LA Clippers.

Donte DiVincenzo believes the Kings are intentionally trying to suppress his market value ahead of free agency, James Ham of ESPN 1320 says on the latest Kings Beat podcast (Twitter link from SabonisMuse).

BREAKING: Donte Divincenzo and his camp are very unhappy with how the Kings have handled his minutes and lack of starts. Relationship may be broken between the Kings and Divincenzo. Per @James_HamNBA. What’s the buzz on Twitter?. Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee. That kick-ball violation on Donte DiVincenzo got me thinking....

DiVincenzo supplied 19 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 victory over Phoenix. Coming off a pair of quiet outings, DiVincenzo finished the campaign on a high note, drilling four three-pointers and working his way to the line a season-high seven times in just 27 minutes of action. DiVincenzo stepped into a larger role in Sacramento after coming over from Milwaukee at the deadline, but he still struggled to score efficiently. In 25 games with the Kings, DiVincenzo posted 10.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals, but he shot just 36.2 percent from the floor (36.8% 3Pt).

Donte DiVincenzo might be looking for a fresh start after seeing limited action to end the year with the Sacramento Kings. "DiVincenzo and his group ... are not at all happy with the Sacramento Kings," Ham reported (at the 34:04 mark). "They believe that the Kings, very specifically, did not start him down the stretch of the season to limit his value in free agency."

Kings guard Donte DiVincenzo has played better in Sacramento than he did earlier this season in Milwaukee. However, he said he’s not thinking about how his recent play may boost his value entering restricted free agency, per Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee. “I don’t go into any game...

DiVincenzo closed Friday's 122-117 win over Houston with 19 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and three steals across 30 minutes. The former Bucks guard had a strong game and ended just one board and one assist away from recording what would've been the first triple-double of his career. He's been performing well despite coming off the bench of late, and he has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances.

DiVincenzo will come off the bench Wednesday against the Bucks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. DiVincenzo had 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in a spot start Monday against the Bulls, but he'll head back to the bench with Justin Holiday (illness) back in the lineup. DiVincenzo should still be involved as a reserve against his former team Wednesday.

DiVincenzo recorded 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Bulls. DiVincenzo made his first start as a King due to Justin Holiday's (illness) absence. Although he's a bit buried in the depth chart, the Kings have little to play for since they are likely out of the playoff hunt. Teams out of the running usually dig deeper into their rosters to see what talent they have moving forward, so DiVencezo could benefit in the closing weeks.

DiVincenzo is in the starting lineup Monday against Chicago, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. DiVincenzo is starting in place of Justin Holiday, who's out with a non-COVID-related illness. This will be the Villanova product's first start with Sacramento this season. DiVincenzo is currently posting 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds across 29 outings.

DiVincenzo finished with 13 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes Monday in the Kings' 131-115 loss to the Knicks. For the third game in a row, DiVincenzo reached double figures in scoring, though the 13 points represent his biggest total during that span. The 25-year-old probably can't be counted on to provide much more offense when the likes of De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Harrison Barnes are all healthy, but DiVincenzo at least typically supplements his modest scoring outputs with solid across-the-board production. He's averaging 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.6 steals since joining the Kings at the trade deadline.

DiVincenzo logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 131-110 win over the Thunder. DiVincenzo's output was particularly impressive given the fact that he was on the court for only 22 minutes. The guard did much of his damage from beyond the arc, drilling a season-high four three-pointers en route to his second-highest scoring output of the campaign. DiVincenzo had reached double-digit scoring just once in his previous seven games prior to Monday, and aside from a five-steal outing Feb. 14, his production in that category has been hit or miss. He probably profiles as a better option in deeper leagues than 12-team leagues or shallower.

DiVincenzo produced 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five steals and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to the Nets. The steal total matched a career high for DiVincenzo, who supplemented the defense with his first double-digit scoring effort as a member of the Kings. He led Sacramento in minutes off the bench and appears in line to co-lead the second unit with rookie first-round pick Davion Mitchell.

To honor Donte DiVincenzo's time in Milwaukee, the Bucks have made a tribute video to the player nicknamed the Big Ragu.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Marvin Bagley’s turbulent time in Sacramento has finally come to an end. The Kings moved the former No. 2 overall pick to the Detroit Pistons as part of a four-team deal on Thursday before the noon trade deadline. As part of the seven-player deal, Sacramento...
