Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was just trying to enjoy a pie with his father when news first broke that the team had fired head coach Ryan Saunders.
Towns revealed he was eating pizza when he received the news, much in the same fashion as the casual NBA fan learned of Saunders’ dismissal:
“I learned when y’all found out,” Towns said Tuesday, via Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. “I was eating pizza with my father and the news came out and we were all shocked.”
The Timberwolves All-Star center also had some thoughts on the team’s decision to hire former Toronto Raptors assistant Chris Finch.
