Karl-Anthony Towns was selected to the third team in All-NBA voting, meaning Towns is now eligible to sign a lucrative "supermax" extension that would take effect when his current deal expires in two seasons.

Towns made the all-league team for the second time in his career, the other coming in 2018. He averaged 24.6 points and 9.8 rebounds in 74 games this season in leading the Wolves to their second playoff appearance since 2004.

Making the All-NBA team this season was an important marker for Towns, who can now sign the so-called supermax extension, which would be worth 35% of the salary cap.
