Jon Krawczynski

The best basketball writer in Minnesota and a senior writer at The Athletic, Jon offers in-depth knowledge of the Timberwolves and Minnesota sports.

While covering the Timberwolves and the NBA, Krawczynski has proved himself one of the best beat writers working in America, a gifted writer and reporter who values the human side of sport.

A native of Blaine, Mn., Krawczynski established himself while breaking stories for the Associated Press, then moved to The Athletic, where he covers the Wolves on a daily basis while contributing to national reportage.

A proud Minnesotan who covers Minnesota sports without homerism, Krawczynski offers basketball insights you can't find anywhere else.
