As Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was debating playing Saturday night, he said, he had some tough talks with his father and girlfriend about whether he should take the floor when his injured left wrist isn't fully healed. He said both of them told him no.
But as the game neared Towns changed his mind.
"I just put my jersey on and said it's time to go play," Towns said. "Obviously it wasn't the best decision for my personal health at all."
On Sunday a different decision was made. The Wolves and Towns made the decision he would sit out the second end of a back-to-back against the Spurs.
