Timberwolves to retire Kevin Garnett's No. 21 in February 2027

Kevin Garnett's No. 21 will be officially retired by the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 28, 2027. This long-anticipated ceremony comes more than a decade after Garnett’s retirement and follows new ownership under Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez. Garnett, who refused a retirement ceremony for years due to issues with former owner Glen Taylor, is the Timberwolves’ all-time leader in major statistical categories. His return to the organization has paved the way for this tribute, coinciding with a game against the Boston Celtics, where his No. 5 is already honored. The event marks a significant milestone for both Garnett and the franchise, as they celebrate their storied history together.
