The 2006-07 Minnesota Timberwolves season was marked by struggles and significant transition. Under head coach Dwane Casey, who was replaced midseason by Randy Wittman, the team finished with a disappointing 32-50 record. This performance placed them fourth in the Northwest Division and out of playoff contention for the third consecutive year.
Star player Kevin Garnett delivered strong performances, averaging 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, but lacked sufficient support from the rest of the roster. Despite Garnett’s efforts, the Timberwolves faced challenges in both offense and defense, which contributed to their subpar record. The season was pivotal as it led to major changes, including the eventual trade of Garnett to the Boston Celtics in the offseason, signaling the end of an era and the beginning of a rebuilding phase for the franchise.
- Regular Season Record: 32-50
