In return, Minnesota will receive Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

The Timberwolves will receive also 2025 top-13-protected first-round pick, ESPN reported.

Towns, 28, did not request a trade, and never had in his nine years with the team, according to The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski. Towns was "stunned" by the trade, reports Krawczynski.
