Karl-Anthony Towns set to play tonight in return from scary car crash

Four days after emerging from a very scary car accident with only minor injuries, Karl-Anthony Towns will return to action for the Timberwolves on Monday night against Sacramento at Target Center.

Towns, who passed through the league’s concussion protocol, said he didn’t get a concussion but had concussion-like symptoms. And he’s ready to start another consecutive game streak after having his 303-game streak halted thanks to a semi truck that rear-ended the car he and assistant strength and conditioning coach Kurt Joseph were in Thursday afternoon.

All in all, his return is a best-case scenario.

“I would say I had a five-percent chance of making it out alive,” Towns said Monday morning.
