The Minnesota Timberwolves' exclusion from the NBA's 22-team re-start in Orlando later this summer means that fans will have to wait even longer for real, on-the-court basketball news.
Nonetheless, the Timberwolves front office is making waves.
Late last week, it was reported that the organization was laying off 18 staffers across the Timberwolves, Lynx, Iowa Wolves, and T-Wolves Gaming, in addition to reducing salary for full-time staff.
Among those who is no longer with the organization is Kyle Ratke, who has done a fantastic job over many years in charge of the Wolves' website content.
