2021–22 Minnesota Timberwolves season

The 2021–22 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 33rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The regular season for the league began on October 19, 2021 and featured the normal 82-game schedule for the first time since the 2018–19 season. On September 22, 2021, general manager Gersson Rosas was fired, and was subsequently replaced by Sachin Gupta.

With a win over the Milwaukee Bucks on March 19, the Timberwolves clinched their first winning season since 2018, and only their second winning season since 2005. After a win over the Los Angeles Clippers in the play-in tournament on April 12, 2022, the Timberwolves clinched their first playoff berth since 2018. However, they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round in six games.

Previous season
The Timberwolves concluded the 2020–21 season with 23–49 record, finishing last in the Northwest Division and thirteenth in the Western Conference.

NBA draft
Minnesota did not hold any picks in the 2021 NBA draft.
