Two teams that dominated the NBA's offseason headlines will collide when the Miami Heat host the Minnesota Timberwolves in a season opener Wednesday night.
The Miami Heat host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night in a season opener featuring two heavily reshuffled rosters. Miami acquired superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis in a massive July trade with Milwaukee, while also adding veteran shooter Klay Thompson. Minnesota countered during the offseason by landing playmaker LaMelo Ball from Charlotte to pair with All-Star Anthony Edwards.
Heat forward Bam Adebayo returned to practice following groin soreness and is expected to play on Wednesday. Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch noted rebounding as a key concern after trading away Naz Reid, putting more pressure on Rudy Gobert and the perimeter players.
