Report: Wilf family emerges as ‘serious candidate’ to buy Timberwolves

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Wilf family, who owns the Vikings, has emerged as a serious candidate to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Wilf family already owns the Vikings, and according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Wilfs have become a serious candidate to buy another Minnesota franchise.

Sportico reported that Glen Taylor, owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, has retained The Raine Group, a global merchant bank, in order to explore selling his NBA franchise.

The Wilfs have emerged as a serious candidate to buy the Timberwolves, Schefter reported.

The Wilfs aren’t the only big Minnesota figure to have interest in the Timberwolves. Former NBA power forward Kevin Garnett said on social media that he is a part of a group with interest in buying the Timberwolves.

Taylor told The Athletic that any sale of the Timberwolves is contingent upon the Timberwolves staying in Minnesota.
