MINNEAPOLIS -- Karl-Anthony Towns said he got a "warm feeling" entering the Target Center again on Thursday morning, but that still didn't mask how strange it was for him to be entering the arena he called home for nine seasons as a visiting player for the first time.

Towns will play his first game in Minnesota as a member of the New York Knicks on Thursday night, his first game against the Timberwolves since he was traded days before the start of training camp in September.

"I know it's going to be a lot," Towns said with a laugh as he considered the emotions of the game later that evening.
