Karl-Anthony Towns has torn his meniscus, and it’s now clear that he faces an extremely lengthy hiatus, which poses a significant problem for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been playing impressively this season, as evidenced by their first-place position in the Western Conference standings with a record of 43-19.
There is no doubt that the injury to superstar Karl-Anthony Towns will greatly affect the team’s performance going forward. The Dominican Republic representative has been averaging 22.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in the current NBA season.
The news of Towns’ injury was first reported by Shams Charania. Recovery from the injury can take from six to eight weeks (if surgery is not required), or from six to eight months if surgery is necessary.
