It was just over two weeks ago when the Minnesota Timberwolves visited Madison Square Garden sans Karl-Anthony Towns to take on the New York Knicks.
Towns sat out the game as he entered the concussion protocol following a post-All-Star break car accident. The Wolves won with relative ease as Taj Gibson and Anthony Tolliver stepped up in Towns’ absence and Derrick Rose led the team in scoring with 20 points off the bench.
While Towns is officially listed as questionable heading into Sunday night’s game and there is “optimism” surrounding the pending MRI results, it would seem unlikely that the Wolves’ franchise player would be out there on the second night of a back-to-back in a next-to-meaningless game.
