Timberwolves road trip a homecoming for Karl-Anthony Towns

NEW YORK — Karl-Anthony Towns often gets to enjoy a bit of home whenever he plays in New York. Towns, who grew up in New Jersey, will have family and friends attend while he's in town, but this trip to New York featured a little extra helping of home.

On Tuesday, the Timberwolves center attended as his high school, St. Joseph, inducted him into its hall of fame. It will retire his No. 44 jersey.

"I didn't know how special it would be to me until I was actually walking into my high school again after some time," Towns said.
