New York Knicks v Minnesota Timberwolves

The love affair between Karl-Anthony Towns and Minnesota didn’t end because he was traded, “I continue to see Minnesota as a home for me,” Towns said at shootaround Thursday.

Thursday night when he was introduced — as a member of the visiting New York Knicks — first there was a tribute video.

Then came a standing ovation when Towns was formally introduced.

KAT also reminded the fans what he can do on the court.

Earlier in the day, Towns had said he was now an “avid Timberwolves fan” and still loves the city and the franchise.

KAT: “This place has given my family so much, not even from a financial aspect, just from a life aspect, the experiences I’ve gotten to have with this org. and the things we were able to accomplish here, those are things that you can never discredit, you can never lose love for.”
