FanDuel Sports Network is adding a familiar basketball voice to its Minnesota Timberwolves coverage, announcing that longtime college basketball coach and analyst Tom Crean will serve as a pre- and postgame analyst for the upcoming NBA season.
Crean will share the role with Rebekkah Brunson, the five-time WNBA champion and current Minnesota Lynx assistant coach. Together, the pair will bring a mix of high-level coaching experience and player insight to FanDuel’s Timberwolves broadcasts.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Tom Crean to the Timberwolves broadcast team,” said Larry Holm, FanDuel Sports Network’s Vice President of Production overseeing live NBA coverage. “His coaching pedigree, passion for the game, and experience behind the mic will add a fresh perspective to our coverage and offer engaging analysis for Timberwolves fans.”
A respected figure in the college basketball world, Crean spent more than two decades on the sidelines with head coaching stops at Marquette, Indiana, and Georgia. He developed several future NBA standouts over that span, including current Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards, whom he coached during Edwards’ lone season at Georgia. That connection, FanDuel executives say, should give fans a unique perspective on the young star’s evolution and leadership.
In addition to his coaching career, Crean has become a recognizable face in broadcasting circles. He has worked as a college basketball analyst for ESPN and NBC Sports, earning a reputation for combining deep strategic knowledge with an energetic, conversational delivery. His ability to break down complex schemes and player development stories made him a popular voice among viewers.
FanDuel Sports Network, which will televise and stream 65 Timberwolves games during the 2025–26 season, continues to bolster its on-air roster as it expands its regional sports footprint. The network’s regular season coverage begins Wednesday, October 22, when Minnesota opens against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center.
