No progress on extension talks between Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns

There hasn't been any kind of progress on the contract extension between the Minnesota Timberwolves and big man Karl-Anthony Towns, according to Brian Windhorst of The Jump. Towns is eligible for a five-year $158 contract extension but can only sign it until October 31st, otherwise he'll become a restricted free agent next summer.

The feeling around the league, according to Windhorst, is that in the end Towns will sign the extension but he may decide to sign a shorter deal, for three or four years.
