Minneapolis/St. Paul – The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team’s 2024 preseason schedule. The Wolves will play five exhibition contests, including one game at Target Center and another game at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, home of the team’s NBA G League affiliate, Iowa Wolves.

Timberwolves fans will have the first chance to see the 2024-25 Wolves at Target Center when the team takes on the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 18. This will mark the seventh time the Wolves have played the Nuggets in the preseason and are 4-2 against Denver in the preseason.

Minnesota will begin its 2024 preseason schedule by playing the Los Angeles Lakers in Palm Springs, Calif. on Oct. 4. This marks the first time the Timberwolves have played a preseason game in Palm Springs and the seventh time playing the Lakers in the preseason.
