The Minnesota Timberwolves will tip off their 20th regular season in
the National Basketball Association by hosting the Sacramento Kings on
Wednesday, Oct. 29 at Target Center at 7 p.m. (CST).
 
The home portion of the Timberwolves schedule features 23 weekend dates
(8 – Friday, 9 – Saturday, 6 – Sunday). The home schedule also includes
11 Wednesday, five Tuesday and two Monday games. The Wolves longest
homestands this season are a pair of four-game affairs (Feb. 25-Mar. 3
and Mar. 9-14). The Wolves will not play more than three consecutive
road games this season, with three-game trips scheduled on five
different occasions…
 
Minnesota’s 2008-09 local television broadcast schedule will be
released at a later date, as will the date single-game home tickets go
on sale.
 
 
Update:
Marc Stein/ESPN on highlights of the NBA schedule: 
Nov. 21: Boston at Minnesota
A hamstring strain prevented KG from playing in his first visit to
‘Sota as an ex-Wolf last February. Hard to see him missing two in row,
though.
 
Dec. 29: Memphis at Minnesota
Who got the best of the O.J. Mayo-for-Kevin Love deal? We’ll start to find out here, when the respective prides of USC and UCLA hook up for their first pro showdown.
 
 
Update:
The Wolves open their regular season at home for the eighth consecutive
year when Sacramento arrives on Oct. 29. The ensuing month will include
visits from Dirk and the Mavs, Timmy Duncan and the Spurs, awaited
rookie Greg Oden and Portland, Elton Brand and his new team the Sixers,
KG, Steve Nash and the Suns and Carmelo, A.I. and the Nuggets before
November is out.
 
Other stuff to note:
 
Right now, the Wolves are not scheduled for any ESPN, TNT or ABC
telecasts, although games could be added to the schedule at a later
date. You’d think that 11 a.m. game at Boston on Feb. 1 would be  prime
for a national broadcast, but ABC currently has Cleveland at Detroit
pegged for that slot.
