On November 22, the Timberwolves lost 113-114 to the Suns in an away game. After the game, Timberwolves head coach Finch was only asked two questions in his press conference. According to media reports, the Timberwolves appear to have no reporters accompanying them in most away games.

Dane, a media person who once served as a reporter for the Timberwolves Moore lamented: "It's a bit uncomfortable when I see this, because traveling as a team reporter to report on the Timberwolves is one of the major expenses of my small company, and it also consumes a lot of my personal time and energy. Before the Phoenix game, I have participated in most of the Timberwolves' away games this season.

But I will not appear in most away games. And I believe that I will still be reporting on the Timberwolves this season. What you're noticing is the demise of local newspapers. The Star Tribune here used to have a reporter for all 41 away games in recent seasons, and that's been cut to zero (or close to zero) in 2026. So yes, there will be a lot of Timberwolves games without a reporter."
