There is precious little time left in the 2022-23 NBA season. In just a little more than three weeks, the Finals will have concluded, and the Minnesota Timberwolves will be racing toward an exciting new chapter in 2023-24.
For now, the Wolves’ opponent from the first round of the playoffs will be competing for their first ever championship. As the rest of the NBA watches, it is encouraging to know that the current title favorites had to give their all to take down Minnesota in round one.
But there is an additional storyline around the Denver Nuggets that is less encouraging for Timberwolves fans, and that is the reality that Jamal Murray could be playing in the Twin Cities right now.
