For Garnett, this bid is personal because of his stature within the franchise. Garnett wants to purchase the team and keep it in Minnesota, sources said. Glen Taylor told @JonKrawczynski that keeping the franchise in Minny is a requirement. https://t.co/zTPDteOPJy

It is also the date that news broke of former Celtics champion forward Kevin Garnett attempting to buy the team that drafted him out of high school in the 1995 NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves, in 2020.
Garnett’s bid would eventually fail with the team being sold to another group, KG’s past fraught relations with then-owner Glen Taylor perhaps being part of the reason the team did not end up going to the former Celtics’ camp.
