The Timberwolves are in the market for a new affiliate in the NBA Development League.

A partner of the Memphis Grizzlies and other groups has purchased the Wolves’ minor-league affiliate, the Iowa Energy, the NBA announced Tuesday. The Grizzlies and Energy will now enter into one-to-one relationship.

The Grizzlies become the 14th team to have a single affiliation with a D-League team for the 2014-15 season. The remaining NBA teams apparently will share the other D-League teams.

The Wolves were exploring a single affiliation with a team, but that has been tabled as the franchise works on a new practice facility, Mayo Clinic Square, and renovations to Target Center.

The Wolves sent then-rookie Shabazz Muhammad to the Energy for four games last season.
