The reports out of the Minnesota Timberwolves' camp just keep on pouring in, and the latest tidbit only adds more fuel to the fire that Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns aren't on good terms.

At one point during the heated scrimmage at Timberwolves' practice Wednesday, Towns tried to post up Butler, and let's just say things didn't go too well for Towns.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Butler stopped Towns in the post and talked some smack as well.

“At one point, Butler found himself guarding Towns in the post, and when the big man received the entry pass, Butler yelled, ‘He can’t do [expletive] against me!' and Towns ended up kicking the ball out, league sources said.”

The relationship between Butler and Towns has been well-documented. Butler has reportedly got sick of the nonchalant attitude of Towns last season and doesn't respect his work ethic.

During an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, Butler told his side of the story, saying Towns wanted no part of him.

“KAT came at me,” Butler said. “I went up in practice and he said, ‘Anybody can get this work.' I said, ‘Do it to me.' That's all that I said. I said, ‘Every time I get switched onto you, you pass it.' I'm a competitor. I'm in here talking, come at me. If you score on me, imma tap you on your butt. Good move. You got the best of me.”
