The 2014-15 Minnesota Timberwolves season was a challenging one, marked by a last-place finish in the Western Conference with a record of 16-66. Under the guidance of head coach Flip Saunders, the team struggled with consistency and injuries. Key players like Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, and Nikola Peković missed significant time due to injuries, limiting the team’s performance.
This season was also notable for the debut of first overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins, who showed promise by averaging 16.9 points per game and earning the NBA Rookie of the Year award. The team also saw the return of Kevin Garnett, who was traded back to Minnesota in February, providing veteran leadership to a young roster. Despite the struggles, the focus remained on developing young talent and laying the groundwork for future improvement.
