With an established core of D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, and Karl Anthony Towns, the Wolves were on the cusp of glory the past year. But their lack of experience in the postseason was on display when they were unable to close out fixtures, in light of alluring dominant leads.
With the Timberwolves playing the Lakers next, they needed their star cast to face LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led gold and purple. But it seems like that won’t happen.
Timberwolves exemplar, Karl Anthony Towns, has revealed he suffered from an ailment
Karl Anthony Towns, ahead of their upcoming debut, was not present for the Wolves’ annual media day event. The ‘Center’, for what it’s worth cleared it up.
Fresh out of the hospital, Towns is not prepared to be back on the court yet. It is very likely that he will not make an appearance tonight against the Lakers.
‘KAT’ disclosed that he was suffering from an illness that left him bedridden. He also cleared that it was a non-COVID-19 illness. However, the sickness must have been vital. After all, t resulted in Towns dropping his weight from 250lbs to a staggering 231.

The 26-year-old previously lost his mother to a COVID-19 illness, when the virus was prominent. Here’s hoping that the ailment will not have a lasting and drastic effect on Towns.
It’s well worth noting that Towns has never suffered from any consistent injuries as such. However, he has been down with the flu a couple of times in the past. Towns’ illness might mean he may need a couple of games to get settled in.
