The Timberwolves announced a new “Backcourt Club” for next season, as the team expands its premium seating options.

The Backcourt Club will be located in the same location that used to house Huberts and Cargill, so fans with access can walk directly from the club into the lower bowl.

The Timberwolves said “Backcourt Club will enjoy an upscale bar and lounge experience, including exclusive food and beverage offerings for members. The private club showcases luxe modern finishes and lighting with expansive glass windows throughout, connecting fans to the electric buzz of Target Center.”

It will also offer a “grab and go” market, as well as private restrooms.

The Backcourt Club will be in addition to the already present Lexus Club, and will serve a separate set of ticketholders in new “premium” seats, which cost more than the average ticket.

Target Center has been packed this season on a nightly basis as the team continues to lead the Western Conference.

“The Backcourt Club is another example of our continued commitment to offering a best-in-class experience and investing into new and desired amenities for our fans at Target Center,” Timberwolves and Lynx CEO Ethan Casson said in a statement. “After selling-out our Lexus Courtside Club the past two seasons, our fans have voiced the desire for more premium inventory. Coupled with the on-court success of the team, we have an opportunity to continue to not only sell out Target Center night after night but provide a more elevated and enhanced fan experience.”

Conley sits

Mike Conley missed his second game of the season with a rest designation. The other came in Boston on the second half of a back to back in a situation where Minnesota had to fly into Boston on the day of the game.

Minnesota had Sunday off prior to Monday’s bout with Charlotte. So, at first blush, the decision to sit Conley was a little puzzling — not that there’s anything wrong with giving a 36-year-old guard the occasional day off.

But Timberwolves coach Chris Finch added a little context pregame, noting Conley had some hamstring soreness, and Monday’s absence was a way to help manage that.

All-star?

The Ringer’s Michael Pina — one of the foremost league-wide analysts — put out his full list of players he’d fill out the all-star rosters with on Monday.

Two Timberwolves made the cut — Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert.

What’s probably more interesting to fans is that Gobert was more solidly in the field, while Pina gave Edwards his final “wild card” spot in the West — with the Wolves’ star edging out Phoenix guard Devin Booker.

While Edwards is a human highlight reel who posts gaudy numbers on a nightly basis, Gobert’s dominance doesn’t get past any watchful eyes. Both likely do make the all-star game, but Edwards may not have much room for error over the next week or so.
