The Wolves, who are 11-6 since Towns’ injury, are tied with Oklahoma City at 55-25, just one game behind the Denver (56-24) in the Western Conference standings.
Prior to his injury, Towns was experiencing a comeback season, with impressive stats of 22.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, shooting 50.6% from the field and 42.3% from the 3-point line.
On Sunday, the Timberwolves will end their regular season by playing against the Phoenix Suns.
Sources have informed ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that Minnesota Timberwolves standout Karl-Anthony Towns, who has been sidelined since March 4 due to a torn meniscus in his left knee, is anticipated to make his comeback during the team’s home game against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
After receiving a surgical procedure four weeks prior, Towns is now classified as questionable for Friday’s match. He was given approval on Tuesday to participate in full-contact 5-on-5 basketball.
