After a commendable journey to the Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves' playoff aspirations came to a halt at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who went on to secure the championship. Superstar Anthony Edwards faced significant defensive pressure from the Thunder, which impacted his performance during the series. Despite the disappointment, Edwards expressed a strong resolve to improve over the offseason.

The Timberwolves are likely to undergo significant changes this offseason, eyeing key player retention with individuals like Julius Randle and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. They have secured Naz Reid with a lucrative five-year, $125 million deal. Edwards, who has emerged as the team's leader, is eying the offseason as critical for development, emphasizing his commitment to elevating his game.
