Karl-Anthony Towns has been cleared for full contact drills and 5-on-5 basketball activities as he is progressing toward a return to the Timberwolves following surgery on a torn left knee meniscus.
The update on Towns, which comes four weeks after he had surgery, is a positive one for him and the Wolves and indicates they can expect Towns back in the near future, even if the team stopped short of offering a definite return date.
Towns has been at the team's shootarounds recently and has been putting up shots and working out during the portions open to the media.
