Kevin Garnett Reportedly Expected to Retire

The Minnesota Timberwolves re-signed Kevin Garnett to a two-year deal in July 2015, but the Big Ticket's time with the team that drafted him in 1995 is reportedly coming to a close.

Kent Youngblood of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Garnett will not return to the Timberwolves and is expected to announce his retirement.

On Wednesday, ESPN's Marc Stein reported Garnett and the Timberwolves were "in advanced discussions on a buyout" that would mark the end of his latest stint in Minnesota.

Stein added that part of Garnett's agreement to return to the Timberwolves in 2015 revolved around the presence of Flip Saunders, who was coaching and in charge of basketball operations at the time.
