DETROIT – Karl-Anthony Towns is back in the All-Star game.
NBA coaches selected the Timberwolves center to his third game as a reserve, the league announced Thursday.
The game is Sunday, Feb. 20, in Cleveland.
Towns will be making his first appearance at the game since 2019. The last two seasons Towns suffered injuries that hampered his availability and diminished his candidacy. The Wolves' miserable record the last two seasons also didn't help his case. This season, Towns has led the Wolves to the No. 7 seed as of Thursday with 24.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.
