In their third preseason game of the season, the New York Knicks (2-0) will host the Minnesota Timberwolves (2-0) on Sunday evening. Although it’s a no-stakes affair, this game will not be without emotions. On the cusp of training camp, New York swapped Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo for longtime Timberwolf Karl-Anthony Towns, a trade that took the NBA by surprise and made the Knicks even more of a championship contender.
Randle is still recovering from shoulder surgery and unlikely to play on Sunday, but DiVo and KAT will surely be playing for pride.
