Sixers to host preseason game vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

This will be the second preseason in a row in which the Sixers and Timberwolves meet. But it will not be in Iowa this time.

The Sixers and Minnesota Timberwolves will face off in preseason action for the second year in a row, according to Minnesota's slate released on Thursday morning.

Initially, the Timberwolves had the location for the Oct. 17 exhibition listed as the Wells Fargo Arena, the site of a preseason game between the teams in Des Moines, Iowa, last season. That has since been revised to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, so this will be a true home game for the Sixers.

Because of their upcoming preseason trip to Abu Dhabi, the Sixers will likely have a truncated schedule of exhibition contests before the regular season begins. As of now, the only three confirmed games on their preseason slate are a pair of contests in Abu Dhabi against the New York Knicks on Oct. 2 and Oct. 4 as well as the Oct. 17 home game against the Timberwolves, which will likely be their preseason finale.
