And just like that, basketball is BACK (well, sort of).

In a partnership with Fox Sports North, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced Sunday morning that they would resume its slated broadcast schedule starting Sunday, March 22 (tonight) at 7pm CT. Additionally, there will be a special message pregame from head coach Ryan Saunders detailing the importance of following current national guidelines (i.e. social distancing, washing your hands, etc.) and during the game itself, President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas will be live-tweeting and answering questions from fans.

Overall, this is a pretty cool (albeit simple) step for the organization to re-engage the fan base during these extremely difficult times. As we unofficially enter week two of our national quarantine, many people (myself included) are desperate for new forms of entertainment as our lives and daily routines continue to be turned upside down. While this current iteration of the Wolves has had about as many “memorable” moments as Jarrett Culver has had made free throws, it’s still pretty cool that the team is attempting to find new ways to connect with their fans during the NBA hiatus.

Following tonight’s broadcast, FSN’s next Timberwolves broadcast will be on Tuesday (March 24) at 7pm CT, which will be a replay of the February 26 game versus the Miami Heat. Additional broadcast details will be announced soon on Timberwolves.com.

Again, considering that the Wolves 2.0 have played only a handful of (not-so-memorable) games together, my guess would be that we may quickly see some more historic Wolves games, rather than re-broadcasting November footage of Shabazz Napier/Gorgui Dieng pick-and-rolls. My hope is that we get to see Kevin Love’s 30 for 30, Ricky Rubio’s Timberwolves debut, or just a 24/7 repeating stream of the night Corey Brewer dropped 51 points on the Houston Rockets.
