Russell Praises Towns' Mentality, Addition Of Rubio Ahead Of Training Camp

Twenty-five minutes and 18 seconds.

Though the Minnesota Timberwolves' acquisition of All-Star point guard D'Angelo Russell in February 2020 seems like a distant memory now, that's the small sample size of time Russell and generational talent Karl-Anthony Towns shared the court in one game together last season. The duo combined for 45 points in an 11-point defeat at Toronto before a wrist injury sidelined Towns for the remainder of the COVID-19-shortened season.

In 14 games with the Wolves, Russell put up averages of 21.7 points and 6.6 assists on 34.5% shooting from three-point range. Before the injury, Towns held averaged a career-high of 26.
