No impasse between Timberwolves' Towns and coach Tom Thibodeau

Karl-Anthony Towns and coach Tom Thibodeau stayed in contact during the offseason.

Per The Athletic, Thibodeau and Towns have spoken on the phone this offseason, league sources told The Athletic, and there is expected to be more substantive dialogue in the coming weeks when Towns returns from his travels. According to several people familiar with the situation, there has not been an impasse between the two. Towns has not asked for a trade and the Wolves are not considering trading him. As contract extension talks kick off for Towns this summer, the communication only figures to increase.
