DENVER – Karl-Anthony Towns was in sweatpants while everyone else was in their shorts at the end of the Timberwolves’ shootaround on Friday at the University of Denver.
It was an indication that Towns wasn’t quite yet ready to make his return to the floor after missing Wednesday’s game and Thursday’s practice because of a left knee injury.
Indeed, Towns missed his second consecutive game with the Wolves playing the first of a back-to-back set of games which continues Saturday in Portland.
Coach Ryan Saunders did indicate some uptick in activity for Towns, who was able to participate in the shootaround a “little bit,” Saunders said.
