There might be a hurdle in the sale of the Timberwolves as the deadline approaches, according to Minnesota sports reporter David Shama. Current owner Glen Taylor revealed on Shama’s Sports Headliners show that potential buyers Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez are facing a financing challenge.

“They had an equity group that was going to come in and put in $300 million, and that equity group has either withdrawn or the NBA has denied them,” Taylor said.

“They have to go out and find new revenue. That I do know. I don’t know if they found it or what they’re going to do. We haven’t seen the schedule of ownership yet.”
