LOS ANGELES – A Timberwolves lineup looking more like the 2021-22 version took to the floor in Sunday night's 119-117 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
With Karl-Anthony Towns making his preseason debut but Rudy Gobert sitting out, the Wolves featured a starting five of holdovers from last season in D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid and Towns.
Towns, sidelined at the start of training camp by an illness, played 26 minutes, scoring 19 points with six rebounds and six assists. He shot 5-for-11 from the floor, including 3-for-6 from three-point range. Reid scored 20 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, on 9-for-13 shooting, and Edwards scored 14 points in nearly 30 minutes of action.
