McKinley Wright IV glad to be 'coming home' with Timberwolves
McKinley Wright recently signed a two-way contract with the Timberwolves.LAS VEGAS — Last Friday, Champlin Park's McKinley Wright IV took the floor at Target Center in front of a crowd at the Timberwolves' Summer League Jam practice.
Four years had passed since Wright was in the same setting, when he played his final game as a high school senior — a 60-54 loss to Tre Jones and Apple Valley in the state championship.
To underscore the full circle nature of Wright's young career, his first competitive action in a Wolves uniform came Monday against Jones and San Antonio, with the Wolves prevailing 91-89.
