Who is Kevin Garnett's biggest fan? Is it our little Prince?

The Purple One won't be at the homecoming game but he'll be cheering KG's return.

Prince didn't bow down to Kevin Garnett at the homecoming press conference. He isn't expected to show up at KG's return to Target Center on Wednesday night. And he isn't going to take to social media to show his support. (He's not participating in social media anymore.)

But a source close to Prince wanted it known that the Purple One -- who is as gifted on the basketball court as he is with a ping pong paddle -- is thrilled that KG is back with the Timberwolves.

Prince plans to attend future Wolves games. No word on whether he'll play a concert at Target Center. Maybe KG will ask him.
