MINNEAPOLIS — Another turn of the wheel in the Timberwolves' recent injury drama came Tuesday as fans were teased with the prospect that Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards might both play in Wednesday night's home game against the Hawks — only for coach Chris Finch to throw water on that notion later in the afternoon.
But then the team's injury report threw them some crumbs that maybe one of them might return. Towns was listed as questionable to play for the first time since he injured his right calf Nov. 28. The upgrade for Towns indicates he could indeed take the floor after missing 52 games because of his injury.
Towns would likely have to go through some evaluation before the game, but his return has been nearing for a few weeks now, with Finch saying Monday that Towns felt "really, really close" to coming back. Edwards was also listed as questionable because of his right ankle injury, but that was also his designation before each of the past two games, both of which Edwards missed.
