2024–25 Minnesota Timberwolves season

The 2024–25 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This season was also the first season since the 2014–15 season without Karl-Anthony Towns on the roster as he was traded to the New York Knicks in a 3-team trade exchange for Julius Randle, guard Donte DiVincenzo, forward Keita Bates-Diop and a future first-round pick via the Charlotte Hornets.

On April 13, the Timberwolves clinched their fourth consecutive playoff berth following their victory over the Utah Jazz. Being the sixth seed in the West, they were underdogs against the third seed Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, but ended up upsetting the Lakers in five games, marking the first time in franchise history they won a playoff round in consecutive seasons. They subsequently defeated the seventh seed Golden State Warriors in five games, their first home playoff series win since 2004. With the series win, they played in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, but lost to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder in–again, for the second consecutive year–five games, denying them their first-ever NBA Finals appearance in the process. This also became the last season where Glen Taylor would own the Timberwolves franchise, as following a court case relating to who should own the franchise regarding a dispute Taylor made with the two parties in question, both Marc Lore and former Major League Baseball star player Alex Rodriguez were ruled to own the Timberwolves following the conclusion of this season.^[1][2]

Draft

Main article: 2024 NBA draft

Round	Pick	Player	Position(s)	Nationality	College / club
1	27	Terrence Shannon	SG	United States	Illinois
2	37	Bobi Klintman	PF	Sweden	Cairns Taipans (Australia)

The Timberwolves had one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering the draft.^[3][4] For the first time in franchise history, the Timberwolves worked on the NBA draft for two straight days instead of one day like it had been since the franchise first existed back in 1989. On the first night of the draft, the Timberwolves would trade with the San Antonio Spurs to acquire former Overtime Elite and University of Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham. Near the end of the first night of the draft, the Timberwolves would draft Terrence Shannon with the 27th pick of the draft. Then, on the second day of the draft, Minnesota would draft Swedish power forward Bobi Klintman from the Cairns Taipans of Australia.
