The 2009-10 Minnesota Timberwolves season was a challenging one, finishing 15th in the Western Conference with a record of 15-67. Under the leadership of head coach Kurt Rambis, in his first year with the team, the Timberwolves struggled to find consistency. Despite the presence of promising players like Al Jefferson and Kevin Love, the team faced significant difficulties on both ends of the court.
Offensively, the Timberwolves ranked 29th in the league, averaging just 98.2 points per game, while defensively they allowed 107.8 points per game, ranking them 28th. The season’s highlights included the development of rookie Jonny Flynn, who showed flashes of potential. However, the team ended the season with one of the worst records in franchise history, leading to another high draft pick. Focus shifted to rebuilding and capitalizing on young talent for future seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 15-67
