Timberwolves and Lynx owner Glen Taylor announced both organizations will pledge a $1 million relief fund to aid part-time workers of Target Center events.
The fund is set to provide assistance to hundreds of Target Center employees who are “adversely impacted by the loss of games at Target Center” as the NBA season is suspended because of the coronavirus epidemic.
The Wolves had to work through some red tape to set up the relief fund as several others around the league pledged to help their workers.
In the Wolves’ situation, they do not employ or pay a lot of the workers at Target Center, which is operated by ASM Global.
