The 2024–25 Minnesota Timberwolves season is the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This season will also mark the first season since the 2014–15 season without Karl-Anthony Towns on the roster as he was traded to the New York Knicks in a 3-team trade exchange for Julius Randle, guard Donte DiVincenzo, forward Keita Bates-Diop and a future first-round pick via the Detroit Pistons.
On April 13, the Timberwolves clinched their fourth consecutive playoff berth following their victory over the Utah Jazz.
The Timberwolves had one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering the draft.[1][2] For the first time in franchise history, the Timberwolves worked on the NBA draft for two straight days instead of one day like it had been since the franchise first existed back in 1989. On the first night of the draft, the Timberwolves would trade with the San Antonio Spurs to acquire former Overtime Elite and University of Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham. Near the end of the first night of the draft, the Timberwolves would draft Terrence Shannon with the 27th pick of the draft. Then, on the second day of the draft, Minnesota would draft Swedish power forward Bobi Klintman from the Cairns Taipans of Australia.

During the preseason, the Timberwolves would play their final games under what was previously named Bally Sports North. Bally Sports would rebrand itself to the FanDuel Sports Network as of October 21, 2024, before the start of the regular season.[3][4]
The groups were revealed during the tournament announcement on July 12, 2024.[5][6]
