Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker saw a brilliant opportunity to stoke rumors after reports emerged that Karl-Anthony Towns was not in a good place with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Booker, who played with Towns at Kentucky, shared an innocuous photo of Towns wearing a Suns jersey.

The report also drew a response from former Timberwolves teammate Zach LaVine, who now plays with the Chicago Bulls.

Parting ways with a brilliant young talent would be extremely unlikely, but it's hard to ignore the building friction between Towns and Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau. And whether it's all an inside joke, or if Booker and LaVine are making serious incursions, the situation in Minnesota is being noticed.
