The Wolves are in Boston on Wednesday night to face the Celtics. When they take the floor, they’ll be doing so well a less-than-complete roster.
According to coach Tom Thibodeau, Robert Covington and Jeff Teague will likely not play. Derrick Rose is still doubtful as well. All three are dealing with ankle injuries—Covington’s was sustained late in the game against the Pelicans on Monday.
However, the Wolves still have a chance to win despite their injuries. Why? Karl-Anthony Towns has been playing like a man possessed.
Over his last five games, Towns is averaging 26.2 points, 15.
