If there was one internal buzzword around the Minnesota Timberwolves heading into the season, it was continuity. The Wolves re-signed Julius Randle and Naz Reid. While they lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency, the rest of their rotation that made a conference finals run remained intact. The Timberwolves bet on their young talent to replace Alexander-Walker.
Minnesota's only offseason additions were signing Johnny Juzang to a two-way contract and drafting Joan Beringer and Rocco Zikarsky. After making a blockbuster trade for Randle and Donte DiVincenzo shortly before the 2024-25 season, the Wolves got off to a slow start but still ultimately made a deep playoff run.
