The 2024–25 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This season was also the first season since the 2014–15 season without Karl-Anthony Towns on the roster as he was traded to the New York Knicks in a 3-team trade exchange for Julius Randle, guard Donte DiVincenzo, forward Keita Bates-Diop and a future first-round pick via the Charlotte Hornets.
On April 13, the Timberwolves clinched their fourth consecutive playoff berth following their victory over the Utah Jazz. Being the sixth seed in the West, they were underdogs against the third seed Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, but ended up upsetting the Lakers in five games, marking the first time in franchise history they won a playoff round in consecutive seasons. They subsequently defeated the seventh seed Golden State Warriors in five games, their first home playoff series win since 2004. With the series win, they played in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, but lost to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder in–again, for the second consecutive year–five games, denying them their first-ever NBA Finals appearance in the process. This also became the last season where Glen Taylor would own the Timberwolves franchise, as following a court case relating to who should own the franchise regarding a dispute Taylor made with the two parties in question, both Marc Lore and former Major League Baseball star player Alex Rodriguez were ruled to own the Timberwolves following the conclusion of this season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves drew an average home attendance of 18,833, the 10th-highest of all NBA teams.
