On April 20, 2016, the Timberwolves hired Tom Thibodeau as their new head coach.[1] On September 23, 2016, Kevin Garnett would officially retire from the NBA, thus ending his 21-year career in the process. On April 11, 2017, the Timberwolves would unveil a new logo and new uniforms to enter the next season. They improved their 29\u201353 output from the previous season, but missed the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season, tying the record for the longest playoff drought in NBA history.[2]2016\u201317 Minnesota Timberwolves rosterPlayersCoachesPos.No.NameHeightWeightDOB (YYYY-MM-DD)FromC45Aldrich, Cole6\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)250\u00a0lb (113\u00a0kg)1988-10-31KansasSF88Bjelica, Nemanja\u00a06\u00a0ft 10\u00a0in (2.08\u00a0m)225\u00a0lb (102\u00a0kg)1988-05-09SerbiaSF18Casspi, Omri6\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.06\u00a0m)225\u00a0lb (102\u00a0kg)1988-06-22IsraelPF5Dieng, Gorgui6\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)240\u00a0lb (109\u00a0kg)1990-01-18LouisvillePG3Dunn, Kris6\u00a0ft 4\u00a0in (1.93\u00a0m)205\u00a0lb (93\u00a0kg)1994-03-18ProvidenceC27Hill, Jordan6\u00a0ft 10\u00a0in (2.08\u00a0m)240\u00a0lb (109\u00a0kg)1987-07-27ArizonaPG1Jones, Tyus6\u00a0ft 2\u00a0in (1.88\u00a0m)195\u00a0lb (88\u00a0kg)1996-05-10DukeSG8LaVine, Zach\u00a06\u00a0ft 5\u00a0in (1.96\u00a0m)185\u00a0lb (84\u00a0kg)1995-03-10UCLASF15Muhammad, Shabazz6\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in (1.98\u00a0m)223\u00a0lb (101\u00a0kg)1992-11-13UCLAPF33Payne, Adreian6\u00a0ft 10\u00a0in (2.08\u00a0m)237\u00a0lb (108\u00a0kg)1991-02-19Michigan StateC14Pekovi\u0107, Nikola\u00a06\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)307\u00a0lb (139\u00a0kg)1986-01-03MontenegroPG9Rubio, Ricky6\u00a0ft 4\u00a0in (1.93\u00a0m)190\u00a0lb (86\u00a0kg)1990-10-21SpainSG4Rush, Brandon6\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in (1.98\u00a0m)225\u00a0lb (102\u00a0kg)1985-07-07KansasC32Towns, Karl-Anthony\u00a0(C)7\u00a0ft 0\u00a0in (2.13\u00a0m)244\u00a0lb (111\u00a0kg)1995-11-15KentuckySG22Wiggins, Andrew\u00a0(C)6\u00a0ft 8\u00a0in (2.03\u00a0m)200\u00a0lb (91\u00a0kg)1995-02-23KansasHead coachAssistant coach(es)Legend(C) Team captain(DP) Unsigned draft pick(FA) Free agent(S) Suspended(DL) On assignment to D-League affiliate InjuredRoster Last transaction: 2017-04-03Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Standings[edit]Division[edit]Conference[edit]Game log[edit]Pre-season[edit]Regular season[edit]Transactions[edit]Free agents[edit]Re-signed[edit]Additions[edit]Subtractions[edit]References[edit]Standings[edit]Division[edit]Conference[edit]Game log[edit]Pre-season[edit]2016 pre-season game logTotal: 5\u20132 (Home: 3\u20130; Road: 2\u20132)Pre-season: 5\u20132 (home: 3\u20130; road: 2\u20132)GameDateTeamScoreHigh pointsHigh reboundsHigh assistsLocationAttendanceRecord1October 8@ Miami109\u2013100Karl-Anthony Towns (20)Karl-Anthony Towns (10)Kris Dunn (7)American Airlines Arena13,0421\u201302October 10@ Charlotte86\u201398Zach LaVine (30)Cole Aldrich (9)Kris Dunn (3)Spectrum Center8,4241\u201313October 12Denver105\u201388Muhammad, Towns, Wiggins (18)Karl-Anthony Towns (8)Ricky Rubio (8)Pinnacle Bank Arena7,1532\u201314October 15@ Miami101\u201396Andrew Wiggins (23)Karl-Anthony Towns (14)Ricky Rubio (6)KFC Yum!
