As the Knicks and Timberwolves gathered for handshakes and hugs following Sunday’s preseason game, New York assistant coach Rick Brunson and Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo had to be separated from one another following a verbal exchange.
“Some words. I don’t know fully well what was said,” DiVincenzo, the ex-Knicks guard, said after the game. “A lot of people there. But I really have no comment on the situation. I think we’ll both be men and talk about it privately.”
DiVincenzo was back at Madison Square Garden for the first time since the Karl-Anthony Towns trade, which sent him from New York to Minnesota.
