All the talk surrounding the Knicks’ trip to Minnesota will focus on their first regular-season game against the Timberwolves, with whom they completed a blockbuster trade right before the season began.
All eyes will be on how Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo perform against their former team and teammates, as well as how Karl-Anthony Towns fares against his old team in the arena he called home for nine full seasons.
On Wednesday night, while basketball analysts and fans looked ahead to the highly anticipated matchup, players and staff from the Knicks appeared to spend quality time at a small private high school just two miles south of the Target Center, where the teams will face off later today.
