# Timberwolves to retire Kevin Garnett’s No. 21 jersey on Feb 28 2026-08-15T01:05:18+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Minnesota Timberwolves will retire Kevin Garnett's No. 21 jersey on February 28 after a home game against the Boston Celtics. Sportstar reports Garnett becomes the second player in franchise history to receive the honour, joining Malik Sealy whose No. 2 was retired after his death in 2000. Garnett is the Timberwolves' all-time leader in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and games played, and the only NBA player to rank first in all those categories for one franchise. The 15-time All-Star and 2004 MVP had a frosty relationship with former owner Glen Taylor for nearly a decade over the jersey retirement. He returned to the team as an ambassador last December. Garnett led Minnesota to eight straight post-season appearances and won an NBA championship with Boston in 2008. The Celtics retired his No. 5 jersey in 2022. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: Boston Celtics, Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/timberwolves-to-retire-kevin-garnetts-no-21-jersey-on-feb-28/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
