According to the Star Tribune’s Chris Hine, the team’s “City Edition” court was planned for the game, but instead it will be replaced with the standard home court. An issue was discovered with the other court during the Spurs’ shootaround.

There was recently a delay at Target Center on Dec. 21 when a faulty rim had to be replaced ahead of Minnesota’s game against the Golden State Warriors. The game started over 30 minutes late after workers had replaced the rim.

The Timberwolves and Spurs have met twice previously this season — the Spurs beat the Wolves 113-103 on Nov. 2 in San Antonio and Minnesota beat the Spurs 106-92 in San Antonio on Dec. 15. This will be the first time the two teams have met in Minneapolis this season. The Wolves are currently 16-14, while the San Antonio has a 16-15 record this year.

East Range Police Department officer passes away

A police officer in northern Minnesota unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

The East Range Police Department said that Sgt. Cody Siebert passed away on Friday, less than 24 hours after being diagnosed with a brain infection.

The department said that Siebert was known for his happy-go-lucky personality and that “if you couldn’t get along with Cody, it was your fault.”

Siebert started at the K9 program in Babbitt with K9 Taconite (Tac) before going to the East Range Police Department.

“The hole left by Sgt. Siebert’s passing will be impossible to fill,” East Range police said. “We at ERPD love you and will miss you always. We have it from here.”

Mesabi East Schools also stated that the district was “truly blessed to have him walking our halls, greeting students, encouraging staff, and building relationships that went far beyond the badge.”
