For the first time in his 10-year career, New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who drafted him No. 1 overall

There was always a good relationship between Towns and Edwards, even as Edwards became the organization’s top priority in recent seasons, taking a spot Towns had held since the team took him No. 1 overall in 2015. Their relationship never faltered in the face of outside chatter that might have driven other teammates apart.

Karl-Anthony Towns balled out against the Timberwolves, putting up 16 points and 16 rebounds in the Knicks' 115-110 win over his old team.
