Karl-Anthony Towns Named Team Captain of the Minnesota Timberwolves

Timberwolves' Star Forward to Lead Team into New Era

Towns, a three-time NBA All-Star, has been a cornerstone of the Timberwolves franchise since being drafted first overall in 2015.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have named Karl-Anthony Towns as their team captain, the team announced today. Towns, a three-time NBA All-Star and one of the most talented young players in the league, will lead the Timberwolves into a new era as they look to build on their success from last season. Towns has been a key part of the Timberwolves' resurgence in recent years, averaging 24.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game last season. He is one of the most versatile big men in the NBA, with the ability to score inside and out, rebound, and defend at a high level. "Karl is a natural leader on and off the court," said Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas. "He has the respect of his teammates and coaches, and he is always willing to put in the work to improve. We are confident that he will be a great captain for our team." Towns said he is honored to be named team captain and that he is looking forward to leading the Timberwolves to success. "It's an honor to be named team captain of the Minnesota Timberwolves," said Towns. "I'm excited to lead this group of guys and help us achieve our goals. We have a lot of young talent on this team, and I believe we can be a contender in the Western Conference." The Timberwolves are coming off a successful season in which they finished with a 46-36 record and made the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Towns was a key part of that success, and he is expected to play an even bigger role this season as the team's leader. With Towns leading the way, the Timberwolves are hoping to make a deep playoff run this season. They have a lot of young talent on their roster, and they are confident that they can compete with the best teams in the NBA.
