Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves is not expected to play in Wednesday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets, but sources have informed ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that he may make his return to the court this weekend.
Towns has been sidelined since March 4th after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee. However, he has now been cleared for full-contact activities and is getting closer to a comeback.
The Timberwolves, who are currently 11-5 since Towns’ injury, have upcoming games against the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, and Phoenix Suns. Towns’ potential return could provide a significant boost to the team as they look to maintain their positive momentum.
Before his injury, Towns was having a standout season, averaging 22.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game while shooting 50.6% from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc.
