Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves playoff series schedule released
After eliminating the Los Angeles Lakers from the postseason for the second straight year, the Denver Nuggets will have to do the same to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Nuggets took down Minnesota in five game in last year’s first round. Now they meet in the second round after the T-Wolves put the finishing touches on a four-game sweep of the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
Game 1 of the best-of-seven series between Denver and Minnesota is set for Saturday at a to-be-determined time.
The Timberwolves’ sweep of the Suns marked the first time Minnesota has won a playoff series in 20 years. They will now meet the Nuggets in the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history.

There are 51,000 people registered in Minnesota’s medical marijuana program, and there’s growing concern that new rules for obtaining a license to grow and sell both recreational and medicinal marijuana could jeopardize the medicinal program.
Maren Schroeder is a consultant and lobbyist for Blunt Strategies and has worked with state regulators as well as businesses in the medical marijuana program.
Schroeder told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that current businesses that want to grow and sell products for recreational and medicinal use are facing economic challenges that could force them to pull out of the medicinal marijuana program.
“I think we’re going to see the large operators forced to pull out,” said Schroeder. “They would have to put up a pretty large risk in order to grow cannabis for medical cannabis because if it didn’t sell as medical cannabis, it would have to be destroyed.”
Schroeder said that for every single cannabis plant growers produce for recreational use, they have to produce two plants for the medical marijuana program. And, Schroder added, those same business licenses require growers to separate their recreational product from their medicinal product, which is not cost-effective.
“Cannabinoid products cannot be done together,” said Schroeder. “They can use the same equipment, but they have to run a medical batch, stop, clean, and then run an adult-use batch. It’s just incredibly inefficient.”
Patrick McClellan is a medicinal marijuana patient. He told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the larger producers would not want to cover those expenses and, if they pull out of the program, medicinal marijuana could collapse in Minnesota.
“People with ALS, people with cancer, people with muscular dystrophy like I have, should really be getting their medical advice from a doctor and from a pharmacist,” said McClellan. “We lose the high-potency medications, we lose housing protections, we lose employment protections, hospital protections, and we get higher prices.”
Schroeder and McClellan said they are working with state lawmakers to adjust the rules and keep the medicinal marijuana program viable.

From TikTok to Minnesota’s Twin Cities, the buzz around this chocolate is just too sweet to ignore and Columbia Heights is the epicenter of all the craze.
Inside, The Golden Nuts, the air is filled with the aroma of coffee and roasted nuts, shelves lined with a selection of sweets but amid the array-one item stands out.
“It’s Dubai Chocolate,” smiled AJ Asmar. A rich milk chocolate bar filled with pistachio butter and katafi dough. A pack of two bars will cost you about $10.
Co-Owners, AJ Asmar and Mahmoud Rammouni opened the shop last year with hopes of bringing something new to the state.
“This is considered one of the first Middle Eastern bakery in Minnesota,” Rammouni said.
Their rendition of the viral Dubai chocolate has people lining up—eager to get their hands on the luxurious chocolate bar. But, Asmar said they didn’t want to stop there, rolling out the Dubai Strawberry Cup, inspired by the popular bar.
“We want to give people the Dubai chocolate experience here locally,” Asmar said.
As the craze continues to grow, Asmar and Rammouni hope to continue to bring people together to get a tase of luxury while staying on top of the latest viral phenomenon
