For a second time since the trades that reshaped their roster, the Timberwolves played a game without a key piece of their future. Last week it was point guard D'Angelo Russell. Wednesday against Charlotte at Target Center, it was center Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns missed the game because of a left wrist injury, one that, according to the team, required an MRI on Tuesday. The team said Towns will be further evaluated during the All-Star break but had no timetable for his return.
"No sense yet," coach Ryan Saunders said when asked about the severity of the injury.
