NBA All-Star Trae Young Posts Post About Minnesota Timberwolves That Went Viral

On Sunday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets by a score of 98-90 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Defeating the reigning NBA champions is always a big deal, and it’s also the first time the Timberwolves have advanced to the conference finals since the 2004 season, when Kevin Garnett was on the roster.

Many people were talking about the Timberwolves on social media, and Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young sent a message.

Her post received over 10,000 likes and almost 600,000 impressions.

Young wrote: “The Wolves have a SQUAD man!”

The Timberwolves will now face Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks in the conference finals.

The first game of the series will take place Wednesday evening at the Target Center in Minnesota.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the NBA Finals and face the Boston Celtics or the Indiana Pacers.

This series began with Game 1 Tuesday night in Boston.

As for Young, the former Oklahoma star is coming off another great year where he averaged 25.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting at 43.0% from the field and 37.3% from three-point range in 54 games.

The Hawks had made the NBA playoffs for three straight seasons, but they finished tenth in the Eastern Conference with a 36-46 record and lost to the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament.

In 2021, Young led the franchise to the Eastern Conference Finals.
