2023–24 Minnesota Timberwolves season

The 2023–24 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 35th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Entering the second season of the "Big 3" consisting of guard Anthony Edwards, center/forward Karl-Anthony Towns and center Rudy Gobert, the team sought to improve upon its 42–40 record from the previous season and make its third consecutive playoff appearance.

After starting this season out 1–2, Minnesota went on a 7-game winning streak to start out the month of November before losing to the Phoenix Suns on November 15. The early winning streak they had early in November later led to them having quality winning record months throughout November, December, and January, to the point where the Timberwolves entered the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend as the surprise best team of the Western Conference with a 39–16 record and with head coach Chris Finch coaching his first All-Star Game in the NBA. They later matched their overall win total from the previous season by the end of February.

On March 4, 2024, with a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves improved upon their previous season's record of 42–40.

On April 1, 2024, the Timberwolves clinched their 3rd consecutive playoff berth following the Phoenix Suns' 124–111 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The regular season is notable for being the first since 2004 in which the Timberwolves won at least 50 games, a feat achieved following the team's win over the Detroit Pistons on March 27, 2024. The Timberwolves had the best team defensive rating in the NBA.

On April 28, 2024, the Timberwolves secured their first playoff series win since the 2003–04 season, and third overall win in franchise history. The team dispatched a 4–0 series victory over the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference quarterfinals. This series also marked the first 3–0 lead and first playoff series sweep in franchise history. In the semifinals, the Timberwolves went on to defeat the defending champion Denver Nuggets in 7 games to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in twenty years. However, the team was swiftly ousted by the Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving-led Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, succumbing in five games.

The Minnesota Timberwolves drew an average home attendance of 18,024 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season, the 18th highest in the league. The total attendance was 738,984.

Main article: 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament

This was the first regular season in which all NBA teams competed in a mid-season tournament setting, due to the implementation of the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament. During the in-season tournament period, the Timberwolves competed in Group C of the Western Conference, which included the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, and San Antonio Spurs.

After defeating the Spurs and Warriors in their first two In-Season Tournament games, the Wolves lost their third game to the Sacramento Kings, which moved the Kings to first within Group C, clinching a spot in the knockout stage. The Timberwolves were left competing for the wild card with the Phoenix Suns, but ended up falling short due to the point differential tiebreaker. The Timberwolves' overall record in group play was 3–1, good enough for second in the group.
