A slew of new and familiar faces entered Mayo Clinic Square, the site of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ practice facility, for the first day of group training at the team’s training camp on Sunday morning.
Six days out from their first preseason contest, the Timberwolves have limited time to get acquainted, making every moment matter. It’s a challenge, but one that every team in this accelerated run-up to the 2020-21 NBA season has to navigate – something that Head Coach Ryan Saunders is accounting for in his camp plans.
“We spent a lot of time focusing on some protocols to be as ready as possible if the unforeseen happens,” said Saunders.
