The Hall of Famer is reuniting with both the Timberwolves and the Minnesota Lynx in a new role that will go beyond basketball. Garnett will be involved in business projects, community work, and content development, according to Shams Charania.
The reunion also clears the way for a long-awaited moment in Minnesota. Garnett's No. 21 jersey will finally be retired by the Timberwolves, honoring his legacy with the franchise where he became a superstar.
Garnett had been distant from the organization since his playing career ended in 2016. A fallout with longtime owner Glen Taylor led Garnett to refuse a jersey retirement, keeping him away from official team events for years.

That situation changed after the arrival of new owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez. Garnett built a strong relationship with the new ownership group, and both sides worked toward a fresh start.
Garnett is one of the most important players in Timberwolves history. He was drafted by Minnesota in 1995 and spent most of his prime with the team, becoming an MVP, an All Star, and the face of the franchise.
