Timberwolves given brutal hand to start 2026 -- and it could define their season

January is shaping up to be an enormous month for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Altogether, they will play in 16 games, starting with Saturday’s game on the road against the Miami Heat.

Once the first month of the new year is complete, the Timberwolves will play in two more before the February 5 trade deadline. Their play in January can help dictate the decision for Tim Connelly and the front office in possibly making a move to bolster the lineup.
