For 51 games, Karl-Anthony Towns watched his team from the sidelines. It took three months to rehabilitate a strained calf that took much longer to heal than the initially anticipated four to six weeks. For Towns, that process must have felt as long and painful as a Lousiville fan watching their team play basketball this season.
But this week, KAT returned to action and has done nothing but hit game-winning free throws in his first game back and drilled a game-winning three-pointer in his second game back on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors.
