The Timberwolves will play two games in Canada during the NBA preseason as part of the fourth annual NBA Canada Series. They will play Chicago on Oct 10 in Winnipeg and Toronto on Oct. 14 in Ottawa.

The Wolves feature two Canadian players -- NBA Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins and forward Anthony Bennett, who was also acquired from Cleveland in the Kevin Love trade last summer.

The Wolves played preseason games against Detroit in 2012 at Winnipeg and Boston in 2013 at Montreal.

There were 12 players from Canada on NBA rosters during the 2014-15 season.
