Which Number Should Be Retired Next?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Timberwolves fans and fans across the country. Now that Kevin Garnett’s number 21 is finally going up to the Target Center rafters next season, it only feels right that the Minnesota Timberwolves can […]
Lynx Weekly: Honing in on Homecourt
The dog days of summer go by a bit faster when you have high-level basketball on the screen. The Minnesota Lynx continue to provide just that. Eight games remain on the WNBA regular season docket and with the Lynx defeating the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday, a win against the Golden State Valkyries this week […]
SB Nation Reacts: The Answer Isn’t More Vets
The people have spoken. When posed the question of adding veterans to fill out the roster, the majority of voters (59%) felt it wasn’t necessary. This offseason has seen the loss of Mike Conley (Boston), Kyle Anderson (Toronto), and Joe Ingles (Australia) already, thus leaving Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo, and newly added Trey Lyles as […]
2026-2027 Minnesota Timberwolves Schedule Guide
As the Minnesota Timberwolves were seen gathering in Paris, France for a Rudy Gobert sponsored team-building vacation, the NBA schedule-makers were hard at work determining who goes to play where and when after the fallout from LeBron James’ Philadelphia 76ers decision. The Timberwolves were highlighted by the league a lot due to the Anthony Edwards […]
Number 21 is Finally Going Up
On Friday morning, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced the day that Kevin Garnett’s jersey is finally going up in the rafters. February 28, 2027. This will be just the second game after the All-Star break on a Sunday evening. The Wolves will play host to the team that first retired KG’s number (#5), and where he […]
Practice in Paris-Dise: The Timberwolves Are Taking Teambuilding Abroad
Over the years, teams change. Their cores erode, through departure, age, or any number of other things. Their players develop and grow together or apart. Ultimately, nothing stays the same and the NBA tends towards chaos instead of order. No team has been more chaotic than the Minnesota Timberwolves. And they are now desperately trying […]
Do the Wolves Need More Veteran Leadership?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Timberwolves fans and fans across the country. As the Minnesota Timberwolves are across the Atlantic enjoying team bonding time in France, it feels good to see that somebod(ies) is taking a leadership role […]
Lynx Weekly: Kayla McBride, Everyone
August is somehow already nearing its midway point and the Minnesota State Fair will be here before we know it (IYKYK). What that also means is the WNBA regular season is winding down, with 10 or so games left for the Minnesota Lynx and the rest of the league. However, we do still have nearly […]
Thank you, Canis
Two years ago, I was given the privilege of taking over Canis Hoopus as site manager. Today, I am writing to let you know that my run has come to an end. Covering the Timberwolves every day, previewing every game, reacting to every win and loss, debating every trade, and experiencing this era alongside all […]
Look Who’s in Minnesota’s Gym in July
For most of last month, being a Timberwolves fan meant refreshing your browser and waiting for a grown man in Los Angeles to decide whether Minneapolis was worth his last two winters. We talked ourselves, out loud and in public, into the idea that a four-time MVP was going to pick the coldest market in […]

Lynx Weekly: Sprinting to the Finish Line
Coming out of the WNBA All-Star break, Minnesota Lynx Head Coach Cheryl Reeve stated that the mindset of the team should be to sprint to the regular season finish line. That message reverberated with her players. There’s just over a quarter left of the regular season (13 games) and Minnesota comfortably ahead of the league […]
The Wolves’ Answer at the Four Isn’t a Name. It’s an Order.
The loud part of the offseason is over, and it ended the way Minnesota’s flirtations with the rest of the league usually end, with somebody else’s celebration. LeBron went to Philadelphia. The three weeks we spent talking ourselves into a 41-year-old choosing Minneapolis for his curtain call is now filed in the drawer with every […]
Anthony Edwards Was the Answer the Whole Time
Minnesota Timberwolves fans spent most of July waiting for somebody to walk through the door and fix things. We refreshed the timeline. We ran forensic analysis on Instagram emoji choices We talked ourselves into believing that a 41-year-old, four-time MVP would chose to spend the last act of his career in Minneapolis. For a few […]
Is Wolves Projected Starting Lineup Too Small?
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going into the upcoming season with a new starting lineup to boast after making a pair of offseason trades. Ayo Dosunmu, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert are projected to start for the Wolves, which Bleacher Report writer Greg Swartz places at No. 12 in his starting lineup […]
Wolves Should Be Commended for LaMelo Ball Trade Gamble
The Minnesota Timberwolves are making a push towards the top of the Western Conference after falling short of the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2023. The Wolves were eliminated in six games at the hands of the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs, so they opted to try and raise their […]
Lynx Weekly: Star-filled Reunions
While there were only two Lynx games this week due to WNBA All-Star break, the Minnesota news cycle was rich with content due to a much needed return to action for a star player as well as the electrifying live StudBudz stream returning for WNBA All-Star weekend. The Lynx were heavily represented at the All-Star […]
Lynx Weekly: Sprinting to the Finish Line
There’s just about a quarter left of the regular season. Week in Review Minnesota had two games this week before heading off to Chicago for the fun that awaited them for All-Star Weekend. It was a light travel week as they only had to worry about one team, in one state, and one arena. They […]

Are the Timberwolves Legitimate Title Contenders?
I distinctly remember the feeling after the Timberwolves lost to Denver in the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Minnesota had been eliminated in five games, which on paper looked like another early exit for a franchise that had collected early exits like refrigerator magnets. There was no banner to raise, no deep postseason run […]
Wolves Wing Stop or Stopgap?
Well, it was fun while it lasted, huh? So LeBron James isn’t a Timberwolf. That’s unfortunate. But life moves on! We checked the rules and the Minnesota Timberwolves will, in fact, still need to participate in the 2026-2027 NBA season without The King. Wolves-centered publications can all stop writing offseason filler content about him, so […]
The Timberwolves Didn’t Need LeBron Anyway…
And just like that, it was over. One tweet from Shams Charania was all it took to end several weeks of speculation, amateur detective work, Timberwolves emoji analysis, and increasingly elaborate attempts to convince ourselves that LeBron James had always dreamed of spending the final chapter of his career in Minneapolis. According to Charania, acting […]
Wolves Have One Issue to Solve in Second Half of Offseason
The Minnesota Timberwolves are rearranging their roster in an attempt to get over the hump and become the top team in the Western Conference. Their trade for LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets sent Naz Reed to the Queen City while Julius Randle was sent to the Brooklyn Nets, opening up a vacancy in the […]

Lynx Weekly: Streaking, All-Stars and Sweet Syl
The Minnesota Lynx are rolling once again, still sitting atop the WNBA standings now 26 games into the 44-game regular season. It was a busy week for Minnesota, with three back-and-forth battles taking place, but the Lynx came out victorious in all three of those contests to extend their winning streak with tow games left […]
