The Biggest Question Every Timberwolves Starter Must Answer This Season

Minnesota Timberwolves have paired 25-year-old LaMelo Ball with 25-year-old Anthony Edwards, answering one major question this summer—who will run the offense alongside their superstar—while raising another: can Ball stay healthy? The article frames Ball’s upside as both scoring and playmaking, including his ability to hit deep threes and deliver no-look passes from his 6'7" frame. It notes Ball played 72 of 82 regular-season games last year, but over the previous three seasons he appeared in only 42.7% of Charlotte Hornets games. Timberwolves President Tim Connelly called Ball’s injuries “wonky” and “one-off.” When asked if he’ll surpass 72 games, Ball replied “Hopefully,” and the piece says that durability—especially for the postseason—is the key test.
