Karl-Anthony Towns has been out of action since March 4th while rehabbing a torn meniscus, and it appeared as though the injury came at the exact wrong time for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After being one of the three teams that have been fighting for the #1 seed in the Western Conference all season long, it seemed like they’d be hampered by the loss of one of the top big men in the NBA. But they’ve remained afloat near the top of the standings despite his absence, and there is optimism that KAT could return before the playoffs even begin.
NBA: Towns Could Make His Return To Wolves This Week
There is “optimism” that Karl-Anthony Towns will play before the start of the playoffs, per @ShamsCharania.

The clock is ticking on a potential return. The regular season officially ends in less than a week, as the schedule will be wrapped up on Sunday, April 14th. The Timberwolves have four games scheduled between now and then, and have plenty to play for as they are tied with the Nuggets atop the West, and both teams remain just one game better than the Thunder.
Minnesota will play three of their final four games over the final week in the comfort of their own arena, and have a couple of winnable contests against the Wizards and Hawks. But they’ll have massively important contests against the Nuggets and Suns as well, which could help seal their ultimate fate heading into the postseason.
Reports Say KAT Is “Very Very Close” To A Return
