Mike Conley will be back in the starting lineup for the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night against the New York Knicks in place of Donte DiVincenzo, who is out with a left toe sprain, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters pregame.

Karl-Anthony Towns of the Knicks has a bone chip in his right thumb, but is expected to try to play through the injury.

Donte DiVincenzo, a Knicks hero of last season’s playoffs, has been ruled out of Friday’s MSG return because of a sprained toe, the Timberwolves announced. It’ll represent the durable DiVincenzo’s first DNP of the season for the T’wolves and puts a damper on an anticipated matchup between offseason trade partners.
