The Minnesota Timberwolves announced on Wednesday that they have rescheduled their preseason game against the Denver Nuggets from Oct. 18 to Oct. 17 due to a conflict with a potential WNBA Finals game. The Minnesota Lynx could be in line to host Game 4 of the Finals against the New York Liberty on Oct. 18.
The game between the Timberwolves and Nuggets, which is the preseason finale for both clubs, will tip off at 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 17. There will be no national broadcast for the rematch of last season’s Western Conference finals, which the Timberwolves won in seven games.
The Timberwolves’ sister franchise, the Lynx, advanced to the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2017 with a Game 5 win over the Connecticut Sun in the semifinals on Tuesday. They are in search of a fifth championship, which would be the most by any team in WNBA history. As the lower seed, the Lynx will host Game 3, and potentially Game 4, in the best-of-five series as long as it is not a sweep.
This has been a historic season for the Lynx, who reached the 30-win…
