How Schröder helped ex-Warriors’ DiVincenzo out of slump

Minneapolis: So, you know how sometimes you just need a little pep talk? That’s exactly what Dennis Schröder did for Donte DiVincenzo. After DiVincenzo got traded to the Timberwolves right before the NBA season kicked off, things were looking a bit rough for him.

In a chat with The Athletic, DiVincenzo shared that he and Schröder had been texting. Schröder, who had just moved to the Warriors, gave him some solid advice. He told DiVincenzo to just be himself and not dwell on the past. It was all about moving forward and making the most of the current situation.

Last season, DiVincenzo was a key player for the Knicks, helping them make a playoff push. But then, just before training camp, he got traded in a big deal involving Karl-Anthony Towns. The start of this season was tough for him as he tried to fit in with a new team. Thankfully, with Schröder’s encouragement, he’s starting to find his groove again.

At 27, DiVincenzo had a solid run with the Warriors last season before signing a four-year deal with the Knicks. Meanwhile, Schröder is still finding his place with Golden State after his trade from the Nets. The Warriors are struggling a bit, sitting at 16-15, but they’re still in the playoff hunt. Here’s hoping Schröder can turn things around for himself, just like he’s helping DiVincenzo do.
