Back in my day (the 2000s and 2010s), nobody cared about NBA preseason. Once free agency wrapped up in July, you could take a siesta until your team returned at the end of October, fully formed and ready to play meaningful basketball. Today, the NBA is a 365-day...28411Fri, 09 Oct 2026 06:00:17 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/cody-williams-is-taking-advantage-of-his-fresh-start-in-minnesota-r28410/A fresh start in Minnesota could be exactly what Cody Williams needs. After spending two seasons in Utah, Williams is still trying to find his place in the NBA. The former top-10 pick has shown flashes of the player Utah thought it was getting. Still, he’s been inconsistent, especially on offense...28410Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:30:58 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/terrence-shannon-jr-enters-the-season-searching-for-consistency-r28409/When the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Terrence Shannon Jr. with the 27th pick in the 2024 draft, they expected the then-24-year-old to have an immediate impact. The results have varied. Now, as he enters his third year with the Timberwolves and his age-26 season, expectations are that he deliv...28409Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:30:21 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/lamelo-balls-halfcourt-shot-foreshadowed-his-wolves-debut-r28408/After months of anticipation, Minnesota Timberwolves fans finally got to see what LaMelo Ball can bring to this team. It didn’t take long to notice his impact on the court. When the whistle blew 2 seconds into the game, he threw it up from halfcourt. Of course, it went in. https://twitter.com/ES...28408Tue, 06 Oct 2026 14:30:18 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/timberwolves-mailbag-lamelo-balls-defense-bench-uncertainty-and-more-r28407/The end is near.

To keep their defensive anchor at his best in late-game possessions and a potential playoff run, Chris Finch must manage Gobert’s workload deliberately from opening night onward.

LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga are in. Naz Reid and Julius Randle are out. But the Wolves’ biggest change may have nothing to do with the roster. The Wolves are trying to spend time together in the offseason, when players typically go...28405Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:30:15 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/let-anthony-edwards-be-happy-in-minnesota-r28404/It’s already happening.

His role. His contract. The chance to play alongside Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. But when Ayo explained why he wanted to stay in Minnesota, his answer was pretty simple. “...28403Thu, 01 Oct 2026 16:30:03 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-much-will-anthony-edwards-miss-naz-this-season-r28402/Of everything Anthony Edwards said at Minnesota Timberwolves Media Day on Monday, one answer stood out.
