The Wolves have their top players back, including Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels, and Mike Conley Jr.. Edwards was named Second Team All-NBA, Gobert was the Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth time, Naz Reid was the Sixth Man of the Year and Chris Finch was a finalist for Coach of the Year.

Hired May 2022, Connelly made trades to bring in Gobert and Conley Jr.

The Wolves are coming off a special season. Their 56 wins were the second-most in a season in team history. The Wolves won two playoff rounds too before ultimately falling to Dallas in the West Finals.

Expectations heading into the 2024-2025 season are incredibly high.
