The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The franchise was founded in 1989, and the team is also known as the “Wolves.” The Timberwolves play in the Western Conference’s Northwest Division.


The franchise was established to bring back basketball to Minnesota after the Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles in 1960. The team has since shown commitment on and off the court, along with their love for the home state.


The Timberwolves have a huge fan base who light up the Target Center, their home arena, on every game night.


Minnesota Timberwolves Best Players


Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett is the first player you will talk about when it comes to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Garnett was drafted straight from high school in 1995, and quickly became the face of the team. With his towering height, he was a great defensive player who led the Wolves to multiple playoffs during his tenure. The team reached the Western Conference Finals in 2004, and KG was named MVP that year.


Kevin Love

After Kevin Garnett, it was Kevin Love, drafted in 2008 who became the face of the franchise. Known for his sharpshooting ability and rebounding skills, Kevin Love set numerous records. He holds the record for the longest streak for double-doubles. During his tenure with the Wolves, Love became a multi-time All-Star and is one of the best players in franchise history.


Karl-Anthony Towns

"KAT" burst onto the NBA scene as the first overall pick in 2015 and immediately made his presence felt. A modern center with the agility of a guard and the dominance of a traditional big man, Karl-Anthony Towns has been a cornerstone for the Timberwolves in recent years. His scoring prowess, coupled with his rebounding and shot-blocking abilities, has cemented him as one of the league's top centers.


Anthony Edwards

Anthony Edwards was picked first overall by the Wolves in 2020 and averaged 19.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in his rookie season. With his electrifying athleticism and scoring ability, he has now become a key player in the franchise. His numbers are improving each year, and over 79 games in the 2022/23 season, he averaged 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.


Sam Cassell

A pivotal figure during the Timberwolves' deep playoff run in 2004, Cassell brought veteran leadership, clutch shot-making, and an infectious energy to the team. Acquired in 2003, his time in Minnesota may have been brief compared to others on this list, but his impact was undeniable. His partnership with Garnett remains a fond memory for Wolves fans around the world.


Minnesota Timberwolves History

The Minnesota Timberwolves joined the NBA tapestry in 1989, aiming to rejuvenate professional basketball in Minnesota after the Minneapolis Lakers' departure in the 1960s. Since their inception, the Timberwolves have undergone various evolutionary phases, echoing the highs and lows synonymous with professional sports.


In the initial years, the Wolves struggled, like most expansion teams. However, things changed when they drafted Kevin Garnett in 1995. KG played for around a decade for the franchise and was a key player during this time. In his leadership, the Wolves entered their first playoffs in 1997.


The 2000s were characterized by key acquisitions and notable playoff runs, with 2004 being a standout year as the team reached the Western Conference Finals, their deepest playoff penetration to date. Later, with players like Kevin Love and now Karl-Anthony Towns, the franchise has continued to stay relevant, producing moments of brilliance and promising potential.


Throughout its history, the Timberwolves have not only been a testament to resilience and determination but have also showcased Minnesota's undying passion for basketball, fostering a deep connection with their loyal fan base.
