1993–94 Minnesota Timberwolves season

The 1993–94 Minnesota Timberwolves season is the 5th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).^[1] The city of Minneapolis hosted the 1994 NBA All-Star Game. Rookie Isaiah Rider had a solid rookie season finishing second on the team in scoring with 16.6 points per game. He also won the Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star Weekend. However, the Timberwolves continued to struggled finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a 20-62 record.

Following the season, the Timberwolves were nearly sold to a group on investors that would have moved the team to New Orleans, despite the stellar attendance at the Target Center.
