Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely. The team had already ruled him out for Thursday's tilt with the Pacers. He will be reevaluated around April 8th but will likely miss the final four regular season games. Naz Reid will be relied upon in Towns' absence, and Kyle Anderson should see a more significant role in the team's rotation.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Town has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely. Minnesota had already ruled him out for Thursday's clash with the Pacers, and it now looks like it's going to be a while until we see Towns on the court again. Towns' absence makes Naz Reid a hot commodity, while Kyle Anderson also looks set to play a larger part in the rotation.

Wed Mar 617:52Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness. Minnesota starts a back-to-back on Thursday, so it's possible the team is simply resting Towns. With him out, Naz Reid will become a popular man in all fantasy formats, while Kyle Anderson could also get a bit of extra burn. The game should be full of big fantasy lines, with Vegas having set the total at 229.5 points.

Wed Feb 2815:46Karl-Anthony Towns Off Wednesday’s Injury Report
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unavailable for personal reasons during Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs, Towns is back with the team and available for Wednesday's action. Through his last 15 displays, Towns is putting up 25.3 points, 7.4 boards, 3.0 triples on 44.6% shooting from deep, and 1.0 blocks per game. The All-Star big man gets an undersized Memphis bunch that places 29th in opponent rebounding percentage (47.5%) in his return, and he could take over in the middle if Rudy Gobert (ankle) is inactive.

Tue Feb 2715:20Karl-Anthony Towns Out For Personal Reasons
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Towns is a late scratch for personal reasons and won't play for the first time since late December. With the All-Star big man absent Tuesday, Naz Reid is a strong DFS bet whether Rudy Gobert (ankle) suits up or not in a cushy spot against a Spurs group that ranks 26th in opponent points per game (120.7).

Sun Feb 1823:05Karl-Anthony Towns Drops 50 Points In All-Star Game
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns led all scorers in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday despite the West suffering a 211-186 loss to the East. Towns registered 50 points on 23-for-35 shooting and 4-for-13 from beyond the arc. He also finished with eight rebounds, three assists, and one turnover. Towns, along with the rest of the Western Conference All-Stars, couldn't shoot the three at the same clip as the East as they hit 17 fewer shots from deep. The Timberwolves star still delivered a big scoring night without the three-point barrage like the MVP Damian Lillard. Towns and the Timberwolves will look to hold on to their number-one seed in the West down the stretch of this season.

Thu Dec 28 202309:50Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. Towns returned from a one-game absence on Tuesday, but he still isn't 100 percent healthy and might need to take some more time off due to left knee soreness. Kyle Anderson made his first start of the campaign Saturday versus Sacramento when Towns was out, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, five assists, and one block. Naz Reid should also get extra work without Towns.

Sat Dec 23 202315:00Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Versus Sacramento
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Saturday in Sacramento. The 28-year-old logged 33 minutes on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 21 points. Unfortunately, he injured his left knee and left the court in obvious pain. Fortunately, it doesn't appear the injury is anything serious, although KAT could miss a few more games moving ahead. As a result, Naz Reid, averaging 13.2 points this season, should see more work, even if he doesn't enter the starting lineup, making him a must-start in nearly all fantasy setups. Kyle Anderson should also benefit, giving him streaming appeal in deeper formats.

Fri Dec 22 202309:59Karl-Anthony Towns Leaves On Thursday With Knee Injury
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) left Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the fourth quarter as he favored his left knee and limped off of the floor. According to Charlie Walton, Towns wasn't able to bend his knee much at all. He was putting up a quality game before exiting as he was able to finish with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists, and one steal while knocking down two threes. Towns has been much better alongside Rudy Gobert so far this season and he's returning top-25 value for his fantasy managers at the same time. If he's forced to miss any time, Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert would both see boosts in value.

Mon Oct 23 202312:23Karl-Anthony Towns Says He's Good To Go For Season Opener
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns wasn't available in the team's preseason finale due to right knee soreness, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. Towns said on Sunday that he'll be good to go for the team's season opener against Toronto on Wednesday. The Timberwolves have looked like a refreshed and re-focused team through the preseason so far, so having one of their star players available to start the season is imperative to starting strong. Fantasy managers should be able to deploy Towns into their lineups without any worries.

Thu Oct 19 202320:04Karl-Anthony Towns Unavailable Versus Bulls
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Fantasy managers shouldn't panic as the T-Wolves aren't going to run any risks in an exhibition game. It sounds like Towns is dealing with a minor right knee issue. That being said, Towns should be fine heading into Opening Night. Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert will start down low with Towns unavailable for Thursday's contest.

Sun Oct 15 202320:15Knicks Monitoring Karl-Anthony Towns
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns has displayed a unique skill set ever since he joined the league in 2015. Ahead of a preseason matchup with the New York Knicks, head coach Tom Thibodeau complimented the big man on his progress throughout his career and his performance during the FIBA World Cup. According to Stefan Bondy, it wasn't just a coach paying his respects as it seems the Knicks are monitoring Towns' situation and will be ready to make an offer if he ever wants out of Minnesota. No matter which team he's on, Towns will be one of the best fantasy centers in the league and should remain close to his 20 points and 10 rebounds per game averages.

Thu Oct 5 202319:06Karl-Anthony Towns Leads 'Wolves To Preseason Win
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns led his team to a preseason win over the Mavs on Thursday. The 27-year-old logged 17 minutes, amassing a team-high 20 points and adding two blocks. KAT is coming off a down year, averaging 20.8 points, the lowest mark since his rookie year. Even worse, he was limited to 29 games due to a calf injury. But assuming Towns plays this well during the season and stays on the floor, he could easily surpass his pre-draft expectations while reclaiming his place as one of the best bigs in the NBA.

Sat Aug 19 202309:54Karl-Anthony Towns Makes Winning Return For The Dominican Republic
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns made his first appearance in 10 years for the Dominican Republic on Friday, helping the team shock Canada with a 94-88 victory. The three-time All-Star was, of course, one of the stars of the show, putting up 20 points on 6-for-9 shooting and grabbing six rebounds. He was tied for the game-high in scoring along with teammate L.J. Figueroa. The Dominicans are gearing up for their third World Cup appearance, facing Angola, Italy, and the Philippines in group play. Towns should crush the competition, and a positive experience with the national team should only do him good ahead of the 2023-24 NBA campaign.

Tue Aug 1 202321:51Karl-Anthony Towns Believes He Is “Fully Healthy”
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns reportedly feels like he is back at full strength after recovering from a calf injury last season. Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic shared during a recent podcast that the star big man is "feeling fully healthy again, for the first time since before he was injured". Towns was limited to just 29 regular-season games after suffering a Grade 3 calf strain on Nov. 28, 2022. The 27-year-old already saw his per-game fantasy value decrease with the addition of Rudy Gobert down low; Towns averaged his lowest amount of points (20.8), rebounds (8.1), and blocks (0.6) since his rookie campaign. It's great to hear he should enter the upcoming season with a clean bill of health, but Towns probably won't be a sure-fire first-round pick in drafts this fall.

Thu Jul 20 202322:06Minnesota Has "Sky-High" Price On Karl-Anthony Towns
According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, the Timberwolves have "set a sky-high price" on center Karl-Anthony Towns. There were rumors the Knicks were interested in obtaining the 27-year-old. However, Katz denied it, citing league sources, reporting New York isn't looking to trade for him. Towns played a career-low 29 games last season due to a lingering calf injury. He also averaged 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists, all down from the 2021-22 campaign. But the former Kentucky Wildcat may bounce back this season, and assuming he stays healthy, he could easily finish as a top-25 fantasy option. That said, it appears the Timberwolves would entertain a deal for Towns, although it will take a lot to get him out of Minnesota.

Fri Jun 9 202317:44Executives Believe Karl-Anthony Towns Could Be Traded
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns has been the face of the team for the last eight seasons since he was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2015 NBA draft. In that time, the Timberwolves have only made the playoffs three times and have never gotten out of the first round. After making a huge deal to bring in Rudy Gobert and with new contracts looming for Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report reports that opposing executives believe that Towns could be traded. It could even happen within the next few weeks, so that the team can avoid the salary cap restrictions entailed in the new collective bargaining agreement.

Sat Apr 22 202309:46Karl-Anthony Towns Finally Regains His Scoring Touch
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns broke out of his scoring slump in Friday's Game 3 against the Nuggets, putting up 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting. He was 2-for-4 from downtown and completed his line with seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. Towns combined for only 21 points in the first two games of the series, so we saw a huge improvement from him Friday. However, the Timberwolves still couldn't hang with Denver and appear to be heading towards getting swept in the series. They will need a monster effort from KAT to stay alive in Game 4.

Mon Apr 17 202309:29Karl-Anthony Towns Struggles Badly In Game 1 Against Denver
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns had a rough playoff opener against Denver on Sunday, finishing a 109-80 blowout loss with only 11 points on 5-for-15 shooting. KAT missed 10 of his first 12 shots and went 1-for-7 with the three-ball. He added 10 rebounds and two assists to his tally while committing four turnovers in 30 minutes. Toews has played great in recent weeks, but this isn't the first time he fails to deliver in the postseason. He is shooting 46.5 percent for his playoff career, averaging only 18.2 points per game. If he can't get going, this series could be done within a week.
