Timberwolves vs Spurs LIVE stream: How to watch NBA clash online and on TV

As long as Kawhi Leonard and Gregg Popovich remain in San Antonio there will always be expectation that they will be competing for a place in the Western Conference Finals.

But it will be the much revamped Timberwolves that many NBA fans could be tuning in to see tonight.

Both Leonard and Tony Parker will miss their season opener but Minnesota will be handing debuts to Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague.

Andrew Wiggins also signed a five-year max contract extension last week to lengthen his stay in the Twin Cities.

And the Timberwolves’ offseason moves means it is playoffs or bust for Tom Thibodeau.

While the Spurs will be missing their star duo, Popovich often finds a system to frustrate teams and the Timberwolves may take time to reach their full potential with so many new faces.

Whatever happens it proves to be an exciting game at the AT&T Centre, and here’s how you can watch the action.
