About our Northwest Division (NBA) news
Latest news on NBA Northwest Division, covering the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz, plus NBA basketball scores, injuries, trades, free agency and playoffs.
The Northwest Division is one of six divisions in the National Basketball Association, three in each conference. It sits in the Western Conference and has five teams. They are based in Denver, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Portland and Salt Lake City, a spread of mountain, plains and Pacific Northwest markets.
Coverage follows the main NBA storylines: injuries, coaching changes, the draft, free agency and the race for playoff seeding. Fans of the Nuggets, Timberwolves (the Wolves), Thunder, Trail Blazers (the Blazers) and Jazz also look for roster decisions, contract talks and regional rivalry games.
Smaller markets give these clubs a close bond with their fans. Denver plays at altitude in the Mile High City, which is a famous home-court edge. Oklahoma City, Portland and Salt Lake City treat their teams as a major source of civic pride.
The division has a distinctive history. The Jazz started life in New Orleans before moving to Utah in 1979, while the Thunder moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008. The Trail Blazers won the title in 1977, the Nuggets won in 2023, and the Timberwolves joined the league in 1989.
