Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will officially suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will make his first appearance on the court since suffering a left meniscus injury in early March. Fantasy managers should not expect Towns to have a full workload on Friday. It's his first game back, so the team will likely ease him back into action. The expectation is that Naz Reid will see decreased playing time, so fantasy managers should expect less value from him. However, Reid should still be rostered in all fantasy formats right now.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is expected to return to the lineup on Friday versus Atlanta. He's officially regarded as questionable for the game after sitting out over a month of action following meniscus surgery on his left knee. Towns is set to return in a good matchup against a team that struggles to contain opposing big men, but his workload will likely be closely monitored as the playoffs are just around the corner. Naz Reid's playing time will take a major hit with Towns' return. However, he's been one of the best bench guys in the league and will still carry a good amount of fantasy value.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some hope that Towns could return from a month-long absence with a torn left meniscus on Wednesday, but that will have to wait at least until Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Naz Reid remains the direct fantasy beneficiary of the star big man's absence and is averaging 17.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks over his last 12 games, but his DFS appeal is diminished by a Denver defense that ranks fourth in the NBA in field-goal percentage allowed (46.1%).

The Minnesota Timberwolves announced on Tuesday that center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities and is progressing toward his return to play. Towns remains formally listed as out for Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards, but it sounds like the 28-year-old All-Star big man is eyeing a return from March 12 left meniscus surgery as early as Wednesday's clash between two Western Conference heavyweights with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets. Naz Reid will have at least one more chance under the spotlight for the T-Wolves, averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3.2 three-pointers, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks across his last 11 appearances (all starts) alongside Rudy Gobert in Minnesota's starting frontcourt. Washington is surrendering more DraftKings points to opposing power forwards than any other team in 2023-24.

The Athletic's Shams Charania reports the Minnesota Timberwolves are optimistic that center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play before the playoffs start. Towns participated in his first team scrimmage on Sunday since undergoing surgery to repair a torn left meniscus on March 12, and the West-leading T-Wolves hope the 28-year-old All-Star big man can ramp up his minutes ahead of the postseason. While Towns is set to be officially re-evaluated ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Washington Wizards, he should still be considered doubtful for that one. Naz Reid is averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3.2 three-pointers, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks over his last 11 games (all starts) and will continue starting alongside Rudy Gobert in Minnesota's frontcourt until Towns is ready to go. The Wizards are allowing more DraftKings points to opposing power forwards than any other this season.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns put up another strong performance on Thursday, with 27 points and 10 rebounds in the team's 96-94 road win over the Brooklyn Nets. The 28-year-old has been on a hot scoring stretch lately, scoring at least 27 points in three straight games, including his 62-point outburst on Monday. Towns is averaging 22.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in 33 minutes per game this year, and he'll look to continue his scoring streak on Saturday in San Antonio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
