WASHINGTON – The Timberwolves added another item to their list of concerns as they navigate a choppy start to this season — the health of Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns suffered a right calf strain in the third quarter of the team's 142-127 loss to the Wizards on Monday.
Towns began running down the floor on defense when a few steps into his stride, he pulled up, grabbed the back of his right leg and fell to the floor with 5 minutes, 25 seconds remaining. A few moments later, center Rudy Gobert and head athletic trainer Gregg Farnam helped him back to the locker room. Towns could not put weight on his right leg.
