Clippers general manager Michael Winger informed the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday that he will not interview for their vacant president of basketball operations job and is instead staying in Los Angeles.
A source with knowledge of the situation, but not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, confirmed Winger’s decision, which was first reported by the Athletic. Winger was one of several candidates the Timberwolves planned to meet with in the next two weeks.
Winger began his career in the front offices of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder and is highly regarded for his salary cap knowledge.
