Karl-Anthony Towns gets supermax contract extension

The Minnesota Timberwolves are keeping their star center for quite some time. To help commence free agency and the signing of new contracts around the association, Karl-Anthony Towns inked a four-year supermax contract extension.

Towns is coming off one of his best seasons in the league. Although his scoring dipped to 24.6 per game, KAT’s Wolves managed a playoff berth as Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell helped carry the offensive load.

The contract was first reported by The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski and later confirmed from Towns’ agent via Adrian Wojnarowski. KAT will make $33.8 million next season…
