Still in search of their first win, the Houston Rockets will wrap up a five-game schedule at the NBA’s 2025 summer league when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams will be playing their final summer-league game in the league’s ongoing showcase at the Thomas & Mack Center and Pavilion.

With a win-now roster centered around star players such as Kevin Durant, Amen Thompson, and Alperen Sengun, the Rockets were always light on proven NBA talent for their summer-league roster — and that became even more pronounced when second-year guard Reed Sheppard was shut down after two games with a minor calf injury.

Meanwhile, Minnesota’s roster features more quality players with NBA pedigree such as Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon Jr., Leonard Miller, Jaylen Clark, and Tristen Newton. With those types of prospects in featured roles, the Timberwolves are a perfect 4-0 in Las Vegas.

For Saturday, here’s our look at broadcast details and potential lineups. The Rockets did not have a first-round selection in the recent 2025 NBA draft, whereas Minnesota’s squad also features Joan Beringer, the No. 17 overall selection.
