Your ticket to the latest Minnesota Timberwolves News & Rumors
The Minnesota Timberwolves are a professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Their organization is a member of the National Basketball Association (NBA). NBA basketball returned to the Twin Cities in 1989 for the first time since the Minneapolis Lakers departed for Los Angeles in 1960 (there was an American Basketball Association franchise, the Minnesota Muskies, in 1967-68) when the NBA granted one of its four new expansion teams (the others being the Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, and the Miami Heat) to original owners Marv Wolfenson and Harvey Ratner to begin play for the 1989–90 season. They received the name "Timberwolves" as the result of a "Name that team" contest.
