The Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx's collapsed sale involving Alex Rodriguez: Everything we know so far

Alex Rodriguez and his business partner, Marc Lore, have seemingly been working toward becoming the majority owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx for the last two and a half years.

The two and their ownership group moved to purchase the teams back in 2021. They announced their ownership bid back in July of 2021 with Rodriguez saying, “I never dreamed this would be possible.”

Here we are on Thursday and, as things turned out, it never came to fruition. Despite all the inroads Rodriguez and Lore made with current team owner Glen Taylor, the Timberwolves seem to have been taking off the market. Taylor announced on Thursday that the bid for the sale was officially over.

Everything fell through after things got so close to the finish line. You’re probably asking how on Earth we got here. Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered.
