The Minnesota Timberwolves kick off the 2020-21 NBA season at home against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
Finally, we’re there. The Minnesota Timberwolves are about to play in a regular-season NBA game for the first time in roughly nine-and-a-half months.
They’ll be hosting the Detroit Pistons, widely considered to be one of the two or three worst teams in the league heading into the 2020-21 season. But, of course, anything can happen.
This is a golden opportunity for the Wolves to begin the season with a victory before a difficult road trip takes them to Salt Lake City on Saturday and Los Angeles for games against both the Lakers and Clippers prior to returning to Target Center.
