Karl-Anthony Towns' absence won't sink Timberwolves and their true top three

Karl Anthony Towns is one of the most skilled big men in basketball and has been the face of the Timberwolves franchise for much of his career.

This year, he's not the Most Valuable Wolf. Not even close.

Remember that as the Wolves move forward without Towns. He will have surgery to repair a torn left meniscus and will need several weeks to recover.

He hopes to return to assist in the Wolves postseason. And he will be needed as the Wolves navigate what looks to be a combative Western Conference bracket.

The Wolves will need his size and scoring then.
