Martin O’Malley, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery, performed surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon sustained by Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo, according to an April 26 CBS Sports report.
The procedure was performed within 24 hours of the injury, which Mr. DiVincenzo suffered during game four of the team’s playoff series.
Dr. O’Malley previously performed Achilles repair surgery on Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum in May 2025, who returned to play in about 10 months.
Mr. DiVincenzo is expected to miss the 2026-27 season, with a potential return later in the year depending on recovery progress.
