T-Wolves Honor Flip Saunders with Banner

With several former players, including Chauncey Billups and Latrell Sprewell, watching on, the Minnesota Timberwolves unveiled a “Flip” banner at the top of the Target Center as the organization paid tribute to Flip Saunders on Thursday.

Saunders, who was a basketball fixture in the state of Minnesota having starred collegiately at the University of Minnesota before later becoming head coach and eventually president of basketball operations of the Timberwolves, died at the age of 60 in October 2015 due to Hodgkin lymphoma.
