A few days ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks made headlines with a blockbuster trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns, Donte DiVincenzo, and Julius Randle. The trade sent KAT to the Knicks while DiVincenzo and Randle to the Wolves.
This high-profile trade reshaped both teams and on Sunday, Madison Square Garden witnessed these three players facing off against their former teams for the first time. The game ended in a close victory for the Knicks, with a final score of 115-110.
Despite the thrilling on-court action, the spotlight quickly shifted to an unexpected post-game incident. Following the game, as players from both teams were shaking hands, a heated exchange took place between former Knicks star Donte DiVincenzo and Knicks Jalen Brunson’s father, Rick Brunson, who is also the Knicks’ assistant coach.
The tension between DiVincenzo and Rick Brunson caught the attention of many. Rick Brunson was seen pointing his finger at DiVincenzo, but the exact words exchanged were unclear. DiVincenzo, in turn, appeared to respond with some remarks of his own, and the two continued throwing shades at each other for quite some time.
A confrontation between a player and another player’s parents is a rare occurrence in the NBA. The scene grew intense, and other team members had to step in to separate them.
Fans React To Donte DiVincenzo And Rick Brunson’s Heated Exchange
NBA fans have been buzzing about the recent heated exchange between Donte DiVincenzo and Rick Brunson. Many fans expressed frustration with Rick Brunson, feeling that, as a coach and father, he should not have involved himself in his son’s on-court activities.
However, some fans came to DiVincenzo’s defense, understanding his frustration as he faced his former team for the first time since the trade. DiVincenzo, who played 27 minutes in the game, contributed 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists in a strong individual performance, though it ultimately wasn’t enough to secure a win for the Timberwolves.
On the other side, Jalen Brunson had an impressive showing for the Knicks, playing 24 minutes and scoring 24 points. His efforts helped the Knicks secure a 115-110 victory, improving their preseason record to 3-0. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves fell to 2-1 in the preseason standings.
