Update:
The Wolves open their regular season at home for the eighth consecutive
year when Sacramento arrives on Oct. 29. The ensuing month will include
visits from Dirk and the Mavs, Timmy Duncan and the Spurs, awaited
rookie Greg Oden and Portland, Elton Brand and his new team the Sixers,
KG, Steve Nash and the Suns and Carmelo, A.I. and the Nuggets before
November is out.

Other stuff to note:
Right now, the Wolves are not scheduled for any ESPN, TNT or ABC
telecasts, although games could be added to the schedule at a later
date. You’d think that 11 a.m. game at Boston on Feb. 1 would be prime
for a national broadcast, but ABC currently has Cleveland at Detroit
pegged for that slot.
