Season-by-season since 2019-20, Karl-Anthony Towns has played in 54.6%, 69.4%, 90.2% and 33.3% of Minnesota Timberwolves games.
Guess which of those teams made the playoffs.
Towns has become a player who can be counted on to get bumped and bruised. His battle with illness before the season very understandably got him off on the wrong foot as far as physical shape goes. It’s frankly just a huge bummer of a situation for him and the franchise.
All of that is true, but it does not take away from the fact that Karl is one of the most specially talented basketball players in the NBA.
