It feels like there have been three major events that have led to today’s iteration of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The starting point of this story is the drafting of Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels in 2020.

The New York Knicks received a critical update pertaining to their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves mere hours before tip-off. Anthony Edwards, the visiting team's star guard, was set to make his return to the court in Madison Square Garden, a major cause for concern for the Knicks.

The Knicks lit Minnesota’s defense up en route to a runaway 137-114 victory for New York at Madison Square Garden, which spoiled Anthony Edwards ‘ return to the Wolves’ lineup. Here are takeaways from the Timberwolves’ defeat:

Mike Conley is the veteran and Rob Dillingham the novice, but neither of them is the answer. The Wolves should keep riding with Donte DiVincenzo.

Trading away Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo was met with scrutiny last offseason, but Randle and DiVincenzo have bought into their roles. Minnesota started the season with very real title hopes, although injuries have slowed them down.

It's still very early in the 2025-26 NBA season for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell to 4-4 in a blowout loss to the Knicks on Wednesday. The Wolves have a talented roster, led by the trio of Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Jaden McDaniels, which should have them in the mix once again in the Western Conference.
