MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves held a grand opening for their shiny new downtown practice facility on Wednesday, hoping that it can help end a decade of futility in the NBA.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and WNBA President Laurel Richie attended the ceremony. The Wolves partnered with the Mayo Clinic to build the $25 million facility just across the street from Target Center. It was paid for entirely with private funding.
The 107,000-square-foot facility is home to two practice courts, the offices for the basketball and business staffs and the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center.
