Minneapolis (AFP) - Karl-Anthony Towns, the top pick in last month's NBA Draft, has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the club announced Tuesday, while veteran center Kevin Garnett has agreed to return.
Garnett is set to play his 21st NBA campaign with the T-Wolves after returning last season in a trade with Brooklyn but playing only five games due to injury.
The 39-year-old will be an important teacher to rookie big man Towns and a locker room leader after leading Boston to a 2008 NBA crown.
