Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves bring NBA basketball to the Twin Cities, playing home games at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Anthony Edwards has turned a long-suffering franchise into a Western Conference fixture with star power and playoff toughness to match. Minnesota's forest-green identity now stands for a team that expects deep spring runs, not just regular-season respect.

The Timberwolves joined the NBA in 1989 and reached the Western Conference Finals in 2004 behind Kevin Garnett. After years of rebuilding, Anthony Edwards led Minnesota back to the West finals in 2024 and to the conference semifinals in 2026, where the Timberwolves pushed San Antonio six games before falling short of their first Finals appearance.
