MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Minnesota Timberwolves will be wearing jerseys from the 1967-1968 season during Wednesday evening’s game.
Not the Timberwolves’ 1967-1968 outfits, obviously. The team will be paying tribute to the Minnesota Muskies during their game against the Indiana Pacers.
The Muskies were an American Basketball Association team that played for but one season before moving on to become the Floridians.
The Muskies jersey was chosen by fans for the Timberwolves to wear over the Minnesota Pipers, who played in the ABA during the 1968-1969 season.
The team plans to wear the jerseys during six home games this season.
The Pacers will be wearing retro jerseys on Wednesday evening as well, from the team’s 1971-1974 seasons.
