A Minnesota Timberwolves trade idea cuts ties with Julius Randle and lands a Mike Conley replacement at point guard.

Ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first home game of 2025-2026 on Sunday, Target Center invited media to sample their best new foods that fans will be fueling up on as they cheer our team in hopes of another great season.

Dončić became the first player in NBA history to begin the season with consecutive 40-point, 10-rebound and 5-assist games.

The reserve center, who played 14 minutes in the season-opening loss to Golden State on Tuesday, was ruled out for Friday’s playoff rematch with Minnesota because of left knee soreness.

All the preseason speculation evaporated in the opening game when Donte DiVincenzo started and Rob Dillingham didn’t play.

After being shredded by Luka Dončić and the Lakers, the Timberwolves are still looking to rediscover their defensive edge.

Minnesota and Indiana play in non-conference action. The teams match up Sunday for the first time this season. Minnesota is 0-0 at home, and Indiana is 0-1 on the road.

In fairness, it has only been two games. There are 80 to play in the regular season. Perhaps Sunday’s home opener against Indiana in front of a raucous Target Center crowd will revive Minnesota’s defensive intensity and the Wolves won’t relinquish it again from there.
