Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns has torn meniscus and will be out indefinitely
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without one of their superstar players for the indefinite future.
On Thursday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, which will sideline the 28-year-old indefinitely. The team confirmed the injury Thursday night.
It's unclear how much time Towns will miss, but the Timberwolves said that Towns will undergo surgery early next week and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
The injury is a massive hit to a team that has seen a lot of success this season. The team has a 43-19 record and is the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Towns has been averaging just over 22 points a game this season and has been named to the All-Star team four times. He scored 50 points in the All-Star game.
