The Iowa Wolves, the NBA G League affiliate of the Minnesota Timberwolves, agreed to a multiyear lease extension with Polk County and OVG360, operators of Wells Fargo Arena. Downtown Des Moines has been the home of an NBA G League team since 2006, when the Iowa Energy debuted at Wells Fargo Arena. Rebranded the Iowa Wolves after being purchased by the Minnesota Timberwolves before the 2017-18 season, Iowa is one of 29 G League teams affiliated with an NBA franchise. “Since 2017, Des Moines and Wells Fargo Arena have been integral partners with our Iowa Wolves organization,” Ryan Tanke, Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx chief operating officer, said in a prepared statement. “Our incredible fans have helped build great momentum as witnessed last season by breaking the franchise attendance record, which led the organization to be recognized by the NBA G League with multiple end-of-season awards and honors.”
