Kevin Garnett is 39 years old and one of the best players in NBA history. He's also a tremendous off-court influence, one of the proudest leaders and hardest workers the sport has ever known.

He's the exact figure the Minnesota Timberwolves should want in their locker room next season (particularly now that Karl-Anthony Towns is their big man of the future), and he's reportedly coming back for at least one more season, per the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

"Although it hasn't been announced, pending free agent Kevin Garnett definitely will re-sign with the Wolves, and Saunders definitely will return as coach."

This is tremendous news for Minnesota—at least the part regarding Garnett. He's the best player in franchise history and should be a tremendous influence on all their young players. With Garnett barking orders and setting the tone on defense, Minnesota could find itself battling for an eight seed next season.
