Sometimes life deals us a set of circumstances that we simply cannot move on from. Taylor Swift has made a career writing about past relationships. Maybe Karl-Anthony Towns can moonlight as a songwriter too, because he’s clearly not over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Nothing can distract Karl-Anthony Towns from missing the Minnesota Timberwolves

Just weeks ago the Minnesota Timberwolves sent former number one overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks. It was a move rooted in salary cap restrictions, though they tried to suggest otherwise . Since the deal, Minnesota has faced New York with Anthony Edwards again linking up with his former teammate. It’s clear the big man still has all of the feelings for his former team though.

Shared by girlfriend Jordyn Woods, Towns can be seen watching the Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Chicago Bulls. This was preseason action, with no implications on the actual season. Still, it was enough to grab the focus of Towns while in person at a Billie Eilish concert. Woods captioned the video, “I promise he was enjoying the concert.”

Understandably Towns was dragged in the comments on the Instagram post by Bleacher Report. He comes off looking miserable and longing for the ex that decided to move on.

Unfortunately none of the dragging is unwarranted. This is a tough look for KAT as he watches Julius Randle get acclimated in his former role. The Minnesota Timberwolves need the All-Star forward to create a near-seamless transition as the attempt to take the next step and compete for a championship during the 2024-25 season.

The Timberwolves wrap up their preseason schedule on Thursday night (October 17) against the Denver Nuggets. I’d bet Anthony Edwards isn’t watching Karl-Anthony Towns’ final preseason game of the year on Friday night.
