Per Shams:
Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett has agreed to reunite with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Minnesota Lynx in a new, all-encompassing role involving business, community and fan-engagement efforts and content development, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Garnett and the Timberwolves will also hold his much-awaited No. 21 jersey retirement ceremony in Minnesota over the next two seasons, sources said. Garnett had been distant from the Timberwolves' organization since his playing career ended in 2016 due to a fallout with ex-owner Glen Taylor, refusing to have his jersey retired, but built a rapport with new governors Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez and the sides found common ground on a reunion.
Timberwolves officials finalized terms of Garnett's return to the franchise this month with his business manager Rich Gray and attorney George Daniel.
Garnett, a 15-time NBA All-Star, is the Timberwolves' all-time leader in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and he is currently the only NBA player ever to lead a franchise in all five of those categories. Garnett is also the only player in Timberwolves history to win an MVP (2003-04).
