 Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a wrist injury in the days leading up to the NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] All-Star break, and it appears he will miss at least a few games once play resumes on Thursday. THE INJURY THAT MIGHT KEEP KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS ON THE BENCH FOR A LONG TIME Coach Ryan Saunders told reporters that the team held Towns out of its first practice after the All-Star break on Wednesday. Saunders said Towns will miss upcoming games, but the coach did not specify how many. Jon Krawczynski [https://twitter.com/JonKrawczynski?s=20] of The Athletic reported that Towns is still being evaluated, and head coach Ryan Saunders said the team has no timetable for his return. Karl-Anthony Towns tweet [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-21-at-1.05.29-AM-300x175.jpeg] HOW THE KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS INJURY AFFECTS THE TIMBERWOLVES This is a rather frustrating development for Towns and the Timberwolves, who were one of the most aggressive teams at the trade deadline with the hopes of surrounding Towns with young and promising players. The Timberwolves made moves to acquire the likes of Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell — whom Towns had been lobbying to sign in free agency last summer — in the backcourt. They all played just one game together before Towns went down with that injured left wrist. Towns missed Minnesota’s final game before the All-Star break after an MRI revealed the injury. Towns is averaging a career-best 26.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game this season. He missed 15 games earlier this season with a sprained left knee. Towns has hardly had any durability issues in his young career. He played in all 82 games in his first three years while also playing in 77 contests last season. Yet, he has already missed 18 games this 2019-20. Most of these stemmed from a sprained right ankle suffered in December. it would benefit Karl-Anthony Towns to get some run alongside his new teammates. That said, he is still the centrepiece of this Minnesota team and the Timberwolves have to protect their investment.

Towns? parents are Karl Towns Sr and Jacqueline Cruz. In 2020, Towns lost his mother and other family members to COVID-19.?

He attended St. Joseph High School in his hometown and led his team to a couple of state titles in 2013 and 2014. After earning a massive reputation as a senior, Towns committed to play for Kentucky as he was already familiar with John Calipari?s coaching. (Calipari coached the Dominican Republic national team in which Towns played).

Towns gained starting privileges as a freshman and fit into Calipari?s coaching system with the Kentucky Wildcats. He played alongside future NBA stars and averaged 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in his first year with the team.?

The Wolves big man has been quite discreet about his private life, but he went public about his relationship in 2020. Towns? girlfriend is model <a href="https://people.com/sports/jordyn-woods-karl-anthony-towns-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jordyn Woods,</a> who is two years younger than him.?

As for his 2K ratings, Towns has been given an <a href="https://www.2kratings.com/karl-anthony-towns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">overall rating</a> of 89 in the latest edition of the game. The NBA 2K23 creators have designed him to be an inside-out scorer, and he has 29 badges to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Karl-Anthony Towns NBA Career</h2>
The Minnesota Timberwolves used their #1 overall pick to select Towns in the 2015 NBA Draft. So far, he?s fit in as a foundational player but is yet to enjoy vast playoff experience.?

Towns has lived up to his expectations as an individual in the NBA, and his numbers serve as evidence. The towering center <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/townska01.html">averaged</a> 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and shot 54.2% from the field in his first year, which earned him the 2016 Rookie of the Year Award.?

Towns? two-way ability is a boon to the Timberwolves who are hoping to build on an impressive 2021-22 season. He is a master rebounder and a dominant scorer and has earned his name in the team?s history books.

In recent seasons, Towns has faced many injury problems and off-court problems that have slowed down his promising career. At his best, he is one of the elite bigs in the league. With the addition of 3-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves will be hoping to become a major force in the West.
