Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns faces an indefinite absence from the court after being diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee.
The devastating injury comes at a critical juncture for Towns and the Timberwolves, who currently hold the top seed in the Western Conference with a record of 43-19.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Towns has been seeking second opinions on the meniscus tear over the last 24 hours.
Towns, a four-time All-Star, has been a driving force for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 22.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.
The 28-year-old’s absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Timberwolves as they navigate the remainder of the season and prepare for the playoffs.
