The 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves season was marked by significant changes and challenges. The team finished with a 19-45 record, placing 14th in the Western Conference. A major mid-season trade reshaped the roster, bringing in D’Angelo Russell in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. This move aimed to create a dynamic partnership between Russell and star center Karl-Anthony Towns.
Despite the promising duo, the Timberwolves struggled with consistency and injuries, including Towns missing significant time. The team showed flashes of potential but failed to contend for a playoff spot. The season was also impacted by the NBA’s suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cut the regular season short. The Timberwolves’ focus shifted towards building around their young core, hoping to develop a competitive team in future seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 19-45
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
