This normally would be the time of year the Timberwolves are hosting their first practices of the upcoming season. Instead, the team was able to work out as a group for the first time since the NBA postponed its season March 11 and the Wolves flew back from Houston to begin the long process of isolation, quarantining and navigating a way back to the floor.
After completing a two-day “hard” quarantine, they took the floor Wednesday, with coach Ryan Saunders saying the results were “a lot better than I expected it to be after a six-month hiatus.”
“This time is important, not just for them to get to know us and this system but for us to get to know them too,” Saunders said.
