Anthony Edwards Helped Recruit Jonathan Kuminga to Wolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves made a splash late in the offseason by signing former Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga to a two-year deal worth $12.4 million. Kuminga has a player option for the 2027-28 season and is expected to be the team’s starting power forward going into the year. The Wolves needed […]
Lynx 101, Sun 89: Minnesota Cools Hot Shooting Sun
After three losses bridging the World Cup break, it has been nearly a month since the Minnesota Lynx notched a win. On Sunday, behind a strong first-half performance by Napheesa Collier that was echoed in the second half by Olivia Miles, the Lynx fended off the Connecticut Sun to stay a full game atop the […]
A Look at Who the Lynx Could Face in the Playoffs
With the WNBA back after a two-plus-week break due to the FIBA World Cup, there are just a few games left in the regular season, with games concluding Sept. 24. The eight-team playoff field is set, though there is plenty yet to be decided with seeding before postseason action can begin. When it comes to […]
An Anthony Edwards Prospect Retrospective: The Realization of His Superstar Potential
Editor’s Note: It is our pleasure to introduce a second Leo to the Canis-verse. This is Leo Li’s first piece for CH, and he will be adding more insight into all things player development going forward. Please welcome him in the way only Canis commenters can! Anthony Edwards’ development trajectory since entering the league in […]
Liberty 93, Lynx 81: Pushed Around Again
Coming out of the World Cup break there was hope that Minnesota would bounce back to their winning ways. Instead, on Friday night, the Lynx just bounced off the bodies of New York Liberty defenders. Presumptive Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles continues to get special attention by opposing defenses. Tonight was no different. The […]
Feel Good Friday: Lynx Are Back!
We made it ya’ll. Another Friday! Though many of us may be clocking out for the week, the Minnesota Lynx are finally clocking back in to work. They play host to our old cheating friends, the New York Liberty tonight at 6:30pm CT at Target Center. The Lynx have been slowly reforming like Voltron in […]
Unrivaled Basketball is Coming to Minnesota
It was announced on Thursday morning that the players-founded Unrivaled basketball league will be arriving to Minnesota for the first time ever. If you are new to women’s basketball, then it’s possible you haven’t heard about what Unrivaled is. Our very own Mitchell Hansen, and resident women’s basketball expert, detailed what exactly it is before […]
3 Candidates That Need to Work Out
‘Internal development’ was up there as one of the key phrases of the Minnesota Timberwolves 2024-25 offseason. Alongside ‘continuity’, the two were constantly used as the main themes to describe how Minnesota would take another step forward after their back-to-back Western Conference Finals trips. I think we can all agree that while it was fun […]
Timberwolves Player Previews: The Wings
In part two of the Timberwolves Player Previews series, Will dives into the swingmen who may swing the season for Minnesota. If you missed the part one reviewing the guards, it’s just a click away below! Jaden McDaniels When Jaden McDaniels said “They’re all bad defenders” when referencing the Denver Nuggets defense in last season’s […]
Let’s Talk About the Way We Speak About LaMelo Ball
Editor’s Note: It’s with great pride we introduce kady1735 as one of our guest contributors! He’s going to bring some of his fresh perspectives here, and you can follow him at on Twitter at (unsurprisingly) @kady1735. LaMelo Ball is the Timberwolves’ premier addition this offseason, and with that label, discussions have inevitably started about how […]

From Foal to Stallion: Joan Beringer Gets His Hooves
Editor’s Note: A great way to kick off the week is by welcoming another talented member of the Canis team. Known in the comments section as EightTwo0 (formerly FreeDieng/Free3Jelica), Patrick Dooley will be blessing us with his talents from time to time. Everyone say hi! It’s our favorite form of off-season content: young player hype. […]
Napheesa Collier & Team USA Dramatically Win Gold
The United States women’s national team hasn’t lost a game in 20 years. It looked like that counter was about to be reset back zero when they found themselves down 14 in the second quarter. Spoiler alert: the ticker will soon be changing to 21 years since their last lost. The epic second half comeback […]
3 Takeaways from Kuminga’s Presser
Editor’s Note: I want to take this moment to introduce Brandon Mullen, who is joining the staff here at Canis. This is certainly (hopefully) the first of many pieces you’ll be seeing from Brandon, so please join me in welcoming him to the site. The Minnesota Timberwolves formally introduced recently acquired forward Jonathan Kuminga on […]
Feel Good Friday: 18 Days Till Training Camp
It’s Friday!!! When I was in middle school, every Friday during lunch time, one of the teachers would wheel out a big speaker outdoor by the basketball courts. In the most cringe Boomer tone that you can imagine, he would announce “It’sssssss Fridayyyyyy!!!!” through a microphone before blasting Jock Jams until lunch was over. However […]
The Many Point Guards of Anthony Edwards
Editor’s Note: We’re excited to see our very own Matt Harren, better known as harebear in the comments section, taking the brave dive onto the Canis front page. You’ll be seeing a lot more from Matt this season, so please give him a warm welcome! During the 2020 NBA Draft, just after the Minnesota Timberwolves […]
An Accursed Bog Witch Predicts the 26/27 Wolves Season
Editor’s Note: One of the most fun parts of the Canis Hoopus of the past was the sheer creativity and eccentricity of the writers that would baffle and surprise me, but clearly carried the care and love that this site should be home to. It is my pleasure to introduce Anand Balasubrahmanyan, who embodies that […]
SB Nation Reacts: Can’t Spell Basketball without… well… Ball
Last week, we came on here to ask you all, off the backs of the Jonathan Kuminga signing and Cody Williams trade, which newcomer to the Minnesota Timberwolves you were most excited to see on the court. With such an action packed summer, filled with a full restructuring of the roster around Anthony Edwards and […]

Feel Good Friday: Wolves Not Guilty
Good vibes. Every Friday. This tradition isn’t back for just a one-time thing, but every week! There’s plenty to feel good about this week. Here are some easy ones off the top of the dome: So how does this work? It’s as simple as it sounds. Hop in the comments and share something good. It […]
Could Cody Williams be the next Wolves reclamation project?
A few years ago, I came on this site to write about Nickeil Alexander-Walker and how he was worth believing in for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That piece eventually got back to Nickeil and he thanked a Canis staffer at his introductory press conference, saying it meant the world to him. Now I am decidedly not […]
Hey, remember Joe Smith? The Clippers certainly do…
In the early 2000s, the Minnesota Timberwolves committed one of the biggest scandals in NBA contract history. The confusion first started when forward Joe Smith, a former first overall pick, signed a small deal with the Timberwolves. Now, players taking pay cuts is nothing new, and certainly not illegal by any means. However, then General […]
Which new Timberwolf are you most excited to watch?
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. This has been perhaps the single most active offseason in Minnesota Timberwolves history. Between the trades of Julius Randle and Naz Reid, the move for LaMelo […]
Get the best of Canis Hoopus on the new SB Nation app
Are you tired of trying to parse through Canis Hoopus articles (and the very important comments) on your tiny cell phone? Accidentally “fat-fingered” another annoying targeted app that popped up? No longer must we endure this. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Timberwolves. You can download […]
Dream 89, Lynx 81: Time for a Break
The Minnesota Lynx had something happen to them on Sunday afternoon that has only happened one other time this season, and last occurring around the 4th of July. The Lynx fell to the Atlanta Dream 89-81 on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta, losing their second straight game. The last — and only — other time that happened this […]
