Timberwolves Sideline Towns For The Game Against The Pacers With Left Knee Trouble

INDIANAPOLIS: Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns was dominated out of the sport at Indiana on Thursday due to what the crew listed as left knee soreness.

The Athletic and ESPN reported that Towns has a torn meniscus and was mulling choices for therapy. The Timberwolves declined to verify the experiences.

The ninth-year ahead has helped the Western Conference-leading Timberwolves thrive this season, averaging 22.1 factors and eight.4 rebounds per sport whereas capturing a career-best 42.3% from 3-point vary. Towns has missed just one earlier sport to harm this season, for left knee soreness on Dec. 23.

He confirmed no apparent indicators of hassle in Minnesota’s most up-to-date sport on Monday in opposition to Portland, however he performed solely 21 minutes, his second-lowest whole of the season.

The absence of Towns will put extra scoring burden on All-Star Anthony Edwards and in addition elevate the position off the bench of Naz Reid, who’s the first backup to Towns and middle Rudy Gobert.
