Kevin Garnett, the Big Ticket, has bought 1,000 tickets to give away to Timberwolves fans for Monday's home game at Target Center vs. the Los Angeles Clippers as a way to say thanks to fans for their warm welcome upon his return to the team last week.

"The response and support I've received from Wolves fans since my return to Minnesota has been nothing short of amazing. It's been unbelievable," Garnett, acquired in a trade with Brooklyn, said in a statement released Sunday morning by the team. "As a gesture of thanks, I would like to treat some fans to Monday night's game against the Clippers. Love you all, and thanks for the love. Enjoy the game on me."

For fans wishing to claim tickets, the team explained how:

Beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, the first 500 fans to claim the tickets on www.timberwolves.com/kg will receive a pair of tickets. The tickets are available only through this link.

Fans can then pick up their tickets outside the Timberwolves executive offices on the Skyway Level of Target Center between 4-6 p.m. Monday.
