The first Wolves-Pels meeting of the 2024-2025 campaign came on Jan. 7 and witnessed the return of Zion Williamson after a two-month injury absence. The forward had an instant impact, dropping 22 points in just 28 minutes.

Despite his efforts, the Timberwolves came out on top 107-97. Anthony Edwards recorded a 32-point performance and Naz Reid contributed with a 13-point and 12-rebound double-double.

Their most recent encounter, on March 19, delivered a shocking result.

Williamson was once again the Pels’ star of the night, finishing with 29 points, five rebounds, eight assists and three steals in nearly 30 minutes of play.
