Karl-Anthony Towns‘ max contract kicks in this season…
And he’s earning it. After a 36 point, 14 rebound performance in the season opener, Towns topped it Friday night against Charlotte: 37 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists. He’s also been more active on the defensive end.
More importantly, because of his play the Timberwolves are off to a 2-0 start. Minnesota has playoff aspirations and it needs a start like this to get in the mix early in the West.
