Karl-Anthony Towns has made himself at home with the New York Knicks.
The 29-year-old star has been doing amazing things in the Big Apple and everyone has noticed, including his former teammates.
On Thursday night, Towns demolished the Minnesota Timberwolves, scoring 32 points and grabbing 20 rebounds.
After the game, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards talked to the press, via SneakerReporter, about his feelings toward Towns.
Edwards said he was very happy for Towns and his big night, although it was painful for him and his T-Wolves to lose so badly.
With a smile on his face, Edwards sincerely wished the best for his former teammate and said he was deserving of all the success he has found.

Towns has been on a tear since coming to New York.
He is averaging 25.0 points and 14.2 rebounds per game while shooting 53.5 percent from the field and 46.1 percent from the 3-point line.
Towns was already a good player in Minnesota, but he has taken things up a level in New York.
All of his numbers have improved and he is leading the league in rebounds for the first time in his career.
When Towns was traded to the Knicks, some Timberwolves fans feared they were losing their most important player.
Edwards earns the most attention, but some followers felt Towns was the person who held everything together and that the team would suffer without him.
Sure enough, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for Minnesota, as it is currently eighth in the West with a 14-12 record, far from where they were last year.
Meanwhile, Towns is putting up career highs and helping the Knicks thrive.
