The bulk of the Minnesota Timberwolves' offseason moves are behind them. Julius Randle and cult hero Naz Reid are gone, and LaMelo Ball is in Minneapolis
The Minnesota Timberwolves are giving LaMelo Ball a fresh start in his NBA career, but he’s still got unpaid debts back in Charlotte. Next season will bring an exciting new NBA reality for LaMelo Ball, who is set to team up with Anthony Edwards on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
LaMelo Ball still has some unfinished (legal) business to take care of in Charlotte. The new Minnesota Timberwolves star point guard Ball is being sued by a North Carolina landlord for allegedly failing to pay rent, Edward Lewis of The California Post reported on Tuesday.
Now that LeBron James has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been forced to put pen to paper on whatever Plan B is to fill out their roster.
Just over two years ago, Rocco Zikarsky was considered by some draft experts to be a top-10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. At worst the thought was that the then-17-year-old center would be a tantalizing enough player to warrant a selection in the second round.
An athlete's peak tends to coincide with the youthfulness of their 20s. Sometimes, though, that apex happens when they've had more time to marinate in experience, and that's sometimes true in the NBA.
Fierce confidence and trash-talking opponents at will are some of the personality traits that Michael Jordan and Anthony Edwards have in common. Amid the longstanding comparison, the Minnesota Timberwolves continue to develop and lead the franchise.
Whatever superstitions might have been called upon to get LeBron James in a Minnesota Timberwolves uniform were all for naught. In case you may have thought
The Minnesota Timberwolves may have found a future star in the Las Vegas Summer League. Sure, much of the attention centered on the franchise’s reshaped roster and championship aspirations.
Ranking fantasy basketball backcourts comes down to four tests here. First, combined scoring, because two guards who both put up points protect your weakest column.
The Timberwolves completely transformed their roster with last month's LaMelo Ball trade. They went from having overwhelming size and athleticism but a spacing problem—with Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle sharing the frontcourt—to a team with one of the best backcourt pairings in the entire NBA.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
Before LeBron James ultimately narrowed his high-stakes free agency decision down to four finalists, another surprising franchise was quietly in the running.
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.
Anthony Edwards ain’t single anymore. Public records in Minnesota just confirmed he tied the knot. Fans spotted a black band on his ring finger at Fanatics Fest last week.
The Timberwolves found out this week that another one of their long-tenured staff will be departing to become a head coach. Just a month after Portland hired lead assistant Micah Nori away Minnesota, Max Lefevre has been named the newest head coach of Paris Basketball Team.
Good grief, there were a lot of them. Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto. LaMelo Ball joining Anthony Edwards in Minnesota. Trae Young and Anthony Davis landing in Washington at the deadline and finally ready to take on real roles.
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.
LeBron James has opted to join the Philadelphia 76ers this summer, but that decision did not come easily with so much to think about regarding his NBA future.
Two years ago, after the Minnesota Timberwolves dropped their fourth straight game in mid-November, Anthony Edwards called out his team for being soft and having a frontrunner’s mindset.
NBA offseason hype is undefeated. A player changes teams and suddenly he's averaging 27 points. A rookie has two good Summer League games and he's headed for stardom.
As the free agency rumor mill heats up, all eyes are on LeBron James’ next destination. While traditional powerhouse markets continue to maneuver for his services, the Minnesota Timberwolves are suitors.
NBA Summer League is a chance for rookies to get their feet wet in the NBA, while veterans show off for roster spots and G League jobs. Sometimes, players stand out so much that they change their teams' plans for the upcoming season.
Timberwolves assistant Max Lefevre has taken a job overseas, having accepted the head coaching position for Paris Basketball, the French team announced today (via Twitter).
The Timberwolves used the second-round pick exception to sign rookie guard Isaiah Evans to a four-year, $9.3MM contract, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (via Twitter).
