Tyus Jones will make his homecoming on Dec. 1 when the Grizzlies visit for a Sunday afternoon game.
The Wolves will open with four of their first five games on the road. Their longest road trip of the season is a six-game trip from March 10-20, while they also have three four-game trips. In all, the Wolves will travel close to 50,000 miles.
They are scheduled for only one nationally televised game — Jan. 24 vs. Houston on ESPN. They made 13 national television appearances last season.
After trailing from the first basket to the final 69 ticks, the Timberwolves defeated a Phoenix team that lacked key players but had Devin Booker, who scored 44 points.
