2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Recap

A Disappointing End

The Minnesota Timberwolves finished the 2019-20 season with a disappointing 36-46 record, finishing 11th in the NBA Western Conference and missing the playoffs. This was a step back from the previous season, when the Timberwolves finished 47-35 and made the playoffs as the No. 8 seed.

Roster Changes

The Timberwolves made a number of roster changes in the offseason, most notably trading away Jimmy Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers. They also added several new players, including point guard D'Angelo Russell and center Karl-Anthony Towns. Despite the changes, the Timberwolves struggled to find consistency throughout the season. They never won more than three games in a row and lost 10 of their last 15 games..

Key Players

Karl-Anthony Towns was the Timberwolves' leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 26.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. D'Angelo Russell was also a key contributor, averaging 18.1 points and 6.4 assists per game. However, the Timberwolves lacked depth and struggled to find consistent production from their bench. They also had a number of injuries, including to Towns, who missed 20 games.

Outlook for the Future

The Timberwolves have a young roster with a lot of potential. Towns is just 24 years old and Russell is 23. They also have a number of other promising players, including Jarrett Culver, Josh Okogie, and Malik Beasley. However, the Timberwolves need to add more depth and improve their defense if they want to compete for a playoff spot next season.
