The Wolves’ roster was finalized when the league’s 5 p.m. deadline passed and it’s the same as it looked on Thursday, when the team placed Chris Richard, David Harrison and Blake Ahearn. None of the three were claimed on waivers and all became free agents officially as of 5 o’clock.

The Wolves practiced at Target Center this morning in preparation for Wednesday night’s season opener against Sacramento. It sure looks like the starting lineup will be the one they finished with in the preseason: Gomes, Jefferson and Brewer in the frontcourt, Miller and Foye in the backcourt. Kevin Ollie was in there competing against Foye in their situational-game scrimmaging near the end of practice while Sebastian Telfair sat and watched.

Telfair, of course, is suspended for the season’s first three games, so Ollie is getting the work before Wednesday’s game at Target Center.

If you’re downtown Minneapolis Tuesday morning, Kevin Love will play barista at the Starbucks City Center location and will be handing out coffee from 9 to 9:30 a.m. on his way to practice. He’s supposed to be wearing an apron, too!

On Wednesday morning, team employees will hand out danish, doughnuts, coffee, etc., in front of Target Center to promote that night’s game. Fans can win courtside seats to Saturday’s game against Dallas and KFAN’s morning show will broadcast from there from 6 to 9 am.
