Karl-Anthony Towns joined the list of Timberwolves in the NBA's COVID health and safety protocols, the team announced Thursday.
Towns and McKinley Wright, the Champlin Park alumnus who spent most of the season with Iowa of the G-League, became the sixth and seventh members of the Wolves in the protocols ahead of the team's matchup in Utah.
The Wolves were down four starters against the Jazz with Patrick Beverley, D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards also in the protocols. Reserves Josh Okogie and Taurean Prince have also missed the last few games in the protocols.
The Wolves have three days off after Thursday's game and they could use it, as more players have joined the protocols before each of their last four games.
