There is one issue looming large with the fans and to a lesser degree, the franchise. The question of why the greatest Timberwolves player ever has yet to have his jersey retired is looming over the team.
Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is the reason Garnett’s number has not been officially retired by Minnesota.
After the Hall-of-Fame announcement was made, Garnett explained why his number has not been retired…
"Glen knows where I'm at. I'm not entertaining it. First of all, it's not genuine. Two, he's getting pressure from a lot of fans and, I guess, the community there," Garnett told The Athletic.
