Injured center Jason Collins rejoined the team after visiting his own doctor in California on Wednesday to have his healing elbow checked again.
Of the other area pro franchises, only the Timberwolves have been below their respective league’s average ticket price.
The Vikings and Wild have been consistently above their leagues’ ticket average; the Vikings this season are at $73 per ticket, and the Wild average ticket tops $60 per game.
About half of the Wolves’ season’s tickets cost $20 or less per game. (For single-game tickets, about one-third of all Target Center seats cost $20 or less.)
But when the $90 and $175 tickets are factored in, the Wolves average this season still reaches past $49 per game.
Timberwolves.com interviews new radio analyst Kevin Lynch.
TW.com: For fans who aren’t fully aware of your illustrious high school career in Minnesota, tell us a bit about what it was like to win two state titles with Bloomington Jefferson and how it felt to be named Minnesota’s Mr. Basketball your senior year…
Lynch: Wow, well we can rewind back to when I was a seventh grader… I had two brothers on the Bloomington Jefferson team that won the 1982 State Championship. It was a lot of fun to be around that team and I think it prepared me well for my future time as a Jaguar. Obviously winning two state titles is something that I will never forget, especially my senior year when we went undefeated. Mr. Basketball was a huge honor for me. To be selected from a very talented pool of players was a significant accomplishment for me. There were a few other players who played Division I college ball in my class.
The Wolves will tip off their 20th season in Minnesota with 20 days of events throughout the Twin Cities.
More than 100 members of the team’s staff will get things started today with a volunteer day at The City, Inc., school in North Minneapolis.
