'Iowa Wolves Tickets'

'

The Iowa Wolves is the exclusive developmental program of its parent franchise, the

Minnesota Timberwolves

. An early member of the NBA Developmental League — the former name of the G League — Des Moines received an expansion franchise in 2007 when it was known as the Iowa Energy. The team stormed out of the gate with three straight division titles in its first four years of existence. This successful run culminated in the 2011 league championship with a three-game victory over the most dominant D League team, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. During these NBA D League days, Iowa served as an important source of professional talent for several NBA teams, including the Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls. The Timberwolves announced that it would purchase the Energy in 2017 and rebrand it as the Wolves. Minnesota has the exclusive right to send or recall players based on the G League rules. Fans of professional basketball can purchase Iowa Wolves tickets at StubHub, a leading source for live events.
