Karl-Anthony Towns plays, after brief questionable status

PHILADELPHIA — When a player is added to the injury list as questionable the day of a game, it is usually an ominous sign for the player's availability.

Karl-Anthony Towns earned a questionable designation because of a right index finger sprain and coach Chris Finch said the Wolves would see how Towns felt before the game before seeing whether he would play.

Towns ended up giving it a go Saturday as he squared off against Joel Embiid, who memorably scrapped with Towns in a game two seasons ago. Towns finished with 28 points before fouling out in the Wolves 121-120 win in double overtime.
