For much of their history, the Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t synonymous with playing on Christmas. As a matter of fact, they didn’t get a December 25 game until 2016, their 28th season as a franchise. Their all-time best player, Kevin Garnett, never got to play on the holiday while donning a Minnesota jersey.
Since then, they have played twice more (2017 and 2024). They own a 2-1 record when playing on the holiday. Here are the single-game Christmas Day records by Minnesota players in major statistical categories. Will any get broken today in the Timberwolves' Christmas matchup with the Nuggets?
