Wolves interim coach Ryan Saunders began his NBA career as a Washington assistant. Minnesota plays at the Wizards on Sunday.
WASHINGTON – Interim coach Ryan Saunders doesn’t have to stay in the team hotel when the Timberwolves are in the nation’s capital. Saunders still has a condominium near the Georgetown campus from when he was a Wizards assistant from 2009 to 2014.
The Wolves practiced Saturday at Georgetown — fitting because Saunders said his time with the Wizards was like going away to college, even though he attended the U.
“I got to get away, moved across the country,” Saunders said.
