More on this storyline
Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns has suffered a left meniscus injury, but it remains unclear about how much, if any, time he’ll be required to miss. Towns and team are working to get full understanding of degree of injury and whether it demands immediate action. -via Twitter @wojespn / March 7, 2024
Scott Agness: Bennedict Mathurin, who has played in the second-most Pacers games this season, is OUT Thu. v Timberwolves with a right shoulder sprain. McDermott misses his fifth game in a row. Timberwolves, who have the best record in the West, will be without Karl-Anthony Towns. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / March 6, 2024
Dane Moore: Chris Finch when asked what he thinks is behind Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns not playing as sharply of late: “They’re just chasing the game too much. I think they’ve got to pick up their decision-making. I think Ant, for sure tonight, was looking to facilitate. We talked about getting that ball moving early so everyone can touch it. He has to make sure he doesn’t lose his aggressiveness. We still need him to be aggressive. I think a lot of KAT’s issues have to do with spacing, just get to better spacing like he was doing a couple weeks ago where he has the shot, he has the closeout. Right now, we’re trying to post up in the midrange way too much. It becomes a wrestling match, bogs down the floor. Looking forward to a good film session coming up here after our day off and starting to build things back in a better way.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / March 5, 2024
