The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to retire Kevin Garnett’s No. 21 jersey on February 28, 2027, in a heartfelt tribute to the legend—and his lifelong bond with fallen teammate Malik Sealy, whose No. 2 will hang beside it. Garnett chose his number because of Sealy, who became a mentor and brother figure during his rise to stardom. Sealy’s tragic death in 2002 at the hands of a drunk driver deeply affected Garnett and the entire team, leading to Sealy’s own jersey retirement just months later. Now, as Garnett’s number ascends the rafters, it honors not just a career, but a friendship that shaped both men’s legacies—and continues to inspire players like Karl-Anthony Towns.
