Wolves Set To Name Saunders Head Coach

The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly ready to remove the "interim" tag from Ryan Saunders' job title. The Athletic is reporting the team and Saunders have agreed to a multi-year deal.

Saunders, 33, took over as interim head coach after Tom Thibodeau was fired 40 games into the 2018-19 season, posting a 17-25 record. Saunders coached with a very injury-depleted roster that saw Robert Covington, Derrick Rose, Tyus Jones and others miss significant time.
