Rob Dillingham, whom the Wolves acquired for a 2030 pick swap and 2031 first-round pick, didn’t play in the first five ga...28175Fri, 05 Dec 2025 10:30:38 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/anthony-edwards-has-delivered-on-his-promise-to-put-the-wolves-on-his-back-against-bad-opponents-r28174/Anthony Edwards has the killer gene that No. 1 options in the NBA must have. He can drop north of 40 points, put the tallest player on the floor on a poster, cross over the best perimeter defender and pull up for three, and hit the game-winner all in the same night. Edwards’ talent is undeniable,...28174Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:30:13 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/naz-reid-deserves-another-beach-towel-night-r28173/On March 22, 2024, Target Center exploded. The Minnesota Timberwolves had the infamous Naz Reid beach towel promotion. Almost two years later, the towels still show up at every game.

They believe that the Wolves, as constructed, are just too flawed a team to make a deep playoff run.

Barring a miracle, the Minnesota Timberwolves are not winning an NBA championship this season. The Oklahoma City Thunder are 17-1 without their second-best player and barreling towards a dynasty in real time.

Sometimes, the players have a closed-door meeting. Other times, it’s a public call to action from a star player. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves may have needed two of these losses to address some o...28170Wed, 26 Nov 2025 10:30:29 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-continuity-hasnt-resulted-in-mature-basketball-r28169/Dillon Brooks wants to get under your skin.

For decades, the Wolves’ troubles lay in inept ownership, player drama, and a front office that couldn’t manage a Waffle House. But this year, everything seemed to be in plac...28167Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:30:03 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/jaylen-clark-remains-an-awkward-but-valuable-fit-in-minnesotas-rotation-r28166/In today’s cap-apron era, it’s a major success whenever a front office can find impact minutes from a second-round draft selection.

They returned ten of their top 11 players in terms of total minutes, with only Nickeil Alexander-Walker leaving to join the Atlanta Hawks.

After a Minnesota Timberwolves loss, he will often mention the lack of flow in the offense. On practice days, he will usually comment about Minnesota’s need to trust the flow.
