Kevin Garnett enjoyed another great season, winning the All-Star MVP award in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, and finishing second in MVP voting to Tim Duncan. Despite losing Terrell Brandon for the entire season to a knee injury, the Timberwolves posted a 12–1 record in February and finished the season with a 51–31 record, good enough to earn the #4 seed in the Western Conference and home court advantage. However, for the seventh straight year in the Garnett era, the Timberwolves did not make it out of the first round of the playoffs, losing to the 5th-seeded and defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in six games. Following the season, Joe Smith was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, Anthony Peeler signed as a free agent with the Sacramento Kings, and Gill signed with the Chicago Bulls.
