Garnett (knee) is expected to be back with the Wolves next season, according to coach Flip Saunders, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Garnett, who came to the Wolves from Brooklyn at the deadline, is set to become a free agent this offseason. He'll turn 39 in May, but the veteran has expressed interest in coming back to the team that originally drafted him in 1995. Garnett appeared in only five games for Minnesota this season, and if he returns in 2015-16 he'd likely see a similarly reduced role while serving in more of a veteran leadership role.
