Donte DiVincenzo, who has missed 43 games due to a toe injury, had his first game again as a Timberwolves against the Lakers because he is one of the most lethal guards of Minnesota Timberwolves who can effectively shoot and score, that's why the Timberwolves need him during their game against the Lakers, and some fans clowned him, saying that injured players, including Donte DiVincenzo, cannot wait any longer to fight against LeBron James and the gang, even if theyre still struggling with their injuries.

Why injured players wanted to play against the Los Angeles Lakers
Aside from Donte DiVincenzo, some injured players of other teams also played against the Lakers, making fans feel that even if the injured players are not 100% fine and ready, they will persist to play, making their injuries worse.
It seems that the reason injured players wanted to play against the Lakeshow is because it's a big opportunity to play against LeBron James and Luka Doncic..
Another reason that injured players are playing against the Lakers is maybe because their Coach (or even their GM) asked them to play. After all, their team needs another player that can sustain their energy on the court.
Trending
Injured players need to get some rest and recovery. If their team is playing against the Los Angeles Lakers, it's better to be out of the game just for a full recovery because they will face the Los Angeles Lakers one way or another. What's important is that the injured players are okay and healthy instead of them limping after the game against the Lakers.
