LaMelo Ball has landed in the Twin Cities. Minnesota all of a sudden owns one of the most exciting backcourts in the NBA following a stunning offseason trade that sent the \u201c1 of 1\u201d shooter to the Timberwolves, pairing with Anthony Edwards in an unexpected change of the team\u2019s play style. As he begins settling in, PUMA has done plenty to proclaim the young star\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost is LaMelo Ball\u2019s inagural Timberwolves photoshoot. The former Rookie of the Year laced up the PUMA MB.05 Lo \u201cAll-Star\u201d for the occasion, pairing that flashy black-dominant colorway with the Wolves\u2019 black pine tree trim jersey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sn-gallery\">\n<div id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"sn-gallery-slider gallery galleryid-1478151 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 4\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478148\"><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\" id=\"gallery-1-1478148\">\n\t\t\t\t\t@timberwolves\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 2\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478146\"><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\" id=\"gallery-1-1478146\">\n\t\t\t\t\t@timberwolves\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 3\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478147\"><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\" id=\"gallery-1-1478147\">\n\t\t\t\t\t@timberwolves\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-counter\">1 of 3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-pager\">\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 4\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478148\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 2\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478146\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lamelo-ball-minnesota-timberwolves-photoshoot-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lamelo Ball Minnesota Timberwolves Photoshoot 3\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1478147\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But one need not be a social media sleuth to be aware of Ball\u2019s arrival.
