Beloved Minnesota Timberwolves wing Nickeil Alexander-Walker departed the team in free agency, signing with the Atlanta Hawks. With the NBA schedule being released, we know now that NAW will return to Minnesota on February 9. While it's unfortunate that his return won't be on National TV and that the Wolves' first travel to Atlanta on December 31, NAW's return will still be an important game for Wolves fans.
Alexander-Walker was a fan favorite, so seeing him back at the Target Center will be an exciting moment for Wolves fans. Unlike some return games, there won't be any bad blood.
