Wolves expected starting lineup tonight in Miami... LaMelo Ball Anthony Edwards Jaden McDaniels Jonathan Kuminga Rudy Gobert Would be 37th different opening night starting 5 in MIN's 38-year history. The only repeat opening night starting lineup? Teague-Butler-Wiggins-Gibson-Towns in 17/18 & 18/19.

With Jaden McDaniels in the news seems like a pretty good time to look back to Nov. 20, 2020. In a 3-team trade MIN acquired Ricky Rubio, #23 pick Leandro Bolmaro & #28 pick Jaden McDaniels. MIN gave up... #17 pick - Aleksej Pokusevski (168g career, out of NBA) '23 2nd rd pick - James Nnaji (0 career NBA games) '24 2nd rd pick - Kevin McCullar Jr. (25g career) Mathias Lessort (0 career NBA games) James Johnson (152g post-trade, out of NBA) Franchise-altering trade.

Wolves will be the last team to play their home opener, Sunday vs. Raptors.
