At Timberwolves media day, Karl-Anthony Towns did not project the kind of bouncy and engaging personality with which he has dealt with the media over the years.
Instead, Towns was serious, sullen and short with his answers instead of loquacious and affable.
Sometimes Towns is like that after a tough game. It's all a part of the rhythm of an 82-game season and the many interviews star players give during the course of a season.
But on Tuesday, Towns was no different than he was at media day as he spoke for only about three minutes in another abrupt session.
