Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) expected to return for Timberwolves Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) is expected to return Wednesday and play against the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
What It Means:
Towns will return after missing the last 13 games while recovering from COVID-19. He was listed as doubtful on the previous injury report, so this comes as a welcome surprise for the Timberwolves and fantasy players. Naz Reid likely takes the biggest hit with Towns returning. As for Jarred Vanderbilt, Timberwolves head coach Ryan Saunders said a couple weeks ago that he'd like to explore the young big and Towns playing together. D'Angelo Russell (leg) also figures to see a downtick in usage.
numberFire's models project KAT for 48.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He has a salary of $10,300 on the nine-game slate.
