Des Moines, Minnesota's NBA/NHL minor league city

[BoxsterCy]

Write-up from today's Star Trib about minor league affiliates in DSM.

Sitting courtside at his first Iowa Wolves game, Taylor said it would help to acquire a prominent player with Iowa ties, as his Lynx have with Lindsay Whalen and the Timberwolves have with Jones.

Last month, the Iowa Wolves drew 4,032 for the Santa Cruz Warriors, and hundreds came wearing Iowa State gear, cheering for former Cyclones star Georges Niang. Nate Rushing, 40, was among the Iowa State fans who watched Niang score 19 points that game.

“I felt bad for our [Wolves] players,” Rushing said. “He got more applause than our whole team.”
