The 2018-19 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 30th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Before the start of training camp, disgruntled All-Star Jimmy Butler requested a trade, indicating that he would not re-sign with the Timberwolves during the 2019 off-season. After multiple disputes and games where he played for Minnesota, Butler's wish was finally granted, sending him to the Philadelphia 76ers on November 12, 2018. On March 30, 2019, on his return against his former team Butler was booed during the players' introductions. On January 6, 2019, the Timberwolves fired head coach Tom Thibodeau and named Ryan Saunders as interim head coach. With a loss against the Hornets on March 21st, the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention.
