Noooooo!!! Fitbit has not renewed their sponsorship.

The wolves are looking for a new sponsor. This is bad news, not because I care so much about Fitbit (though I do think they are nice) it's because I think we had one of the best sponsor setups in the NBA. The sponsor was there but it didn't stand out like a sore thumb, it fit well in the uniform, felt fairly natural. Now we might replace it with some terrible blotch that doesn't match at all.

Would have to think Mayo Clinic has to be in the running

They might want less publicity being this is the team that has most of the roster injured all season and taking 4 months for any injury.

Shut Mayo Clinic down if they try to do what they did with the Lynx, took over the whole damn uniform.

Might as well be the Minnesota Mayo Clinics.

I don’t think the NBA allows ads like this. WNBA needs anything they can to remain afloat.

That's still really sad. Who was the asshat responsible for forcing that?

Don't get the issues you guys have with advertisement on the jerseys...common practice here in Europe.
