A faceoff with the past: Karl-Anthony Towns vs. the Timberwolves

An exciting spectacle on Sunday night would be Karl-Anthony Towns going against his former teammates at the Minnesota Timberwolves. KAT was an essential core member of the Timberwolves squad until he was traded to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. It was an unexpected move that shocked many fans in the community.

However, Towns has been doing great at his new home and it would be interesting to see how he performs against the team that drafted him and helped him develop into the All-Star caliber player he is today.
