The 2007-08 Minnesota Timberwolves season marked a challenging period for the franchise, as they navigated a rebuilding phase following the departure of Kevin Garnett. The team finished with a 22-60 record under head coach Randy Wittman, placing them 14th in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. The season focused on developing young talent, highlighted by the performance of rookie forward Al Jefferson, who led the team with averages of 21.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.
Despite the struggles in the win column, the Timberwolves aimed to build a foundation for the future through the draft and trades. Key additions included Corey Brewer and Randy Foye, who were expected to play significant roles in the team’s long-term plans. While immediate success was elusive, the season was a pivotal step in reshaping the franchise’s direction post-Garnett era.
