Karl-Anthony Towns and Tom Thibodeau had a sometimes rocky partnership during their time together, but the two had been getting along well in recent weeks.
Towns agreed to sign a contract extension with the Wolves this offseason before Thibodeau's job status became an issue.
Towns told The Athletic in October that “Thibs and I may not see eye-to-eye every day, but the one thing I know is we have tremendous respect for each other.”
Sources say that sentiment remained unchanged.
Towns and Thibodeau laughed and joked with each other during Saturday's practice.
