Beginning Monday, the Timberwolves will be home in Minneapolis. But home for many players and staff is going to feel so far away.
That's because for two weeks, the Wolves will be in their own version of the NBA bubble, only going back and forth from a hotel to their team's practice facility and Target Center for the first group workouts they will hold since the NBA postponed its season March 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Wolves were one of eight teams that didn't make the cut for the NBA's bubble campus in Orlando, but they and the other seven teams pressed the NBA for an opportunity to hold group workouts in a bubblelike setting so as not to go even longer without holding any organized team activities.
