Timberwolves Injury Report: Towns Out, Anderson Questionable
Towns Undergoes Successful Surgery, Anderson's Status Uncertain
Original Article:
The Minnesota Timberwolves have announced that Karl-Anthony Towns will miss an extended period of time due to a left calf injury. The team's star center underwent successful surgery on Tuesday, and his status will be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks.
According to ESPN, fellow Wolves big man Kyle Anderson is also questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz with an ankle injury. Anderson has been dealing with the issue for the past few weeks, and his availability for Wednesday's game is uncertain.
The Timberwolves have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA this season, sitting fourth in the Western Conference with a 13-7 record. However, Towns' injury is a major blow to the team's hopes of continuing their success.
The 27-year-old center is averaging 21.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season, and he is a key part of the Timberwolves' defense. His absence will leave a big hole in the team's lineup.
The Timberwolves will have to rely on their other big men, including Anderson, Rudy Gobert, and Jaden McDaniels, to step up in Towns' absence. The team will also need to find a way to replace Towns' scoring and rebounding production.
The Timberwolves will provide further updates on Towns' and Anderson's injuries as they become available.
