Wolves head coach Ryan Saunders announced at Monday’s shootaround that Karl-Anthony Towns will not be available for Monday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Target Center due to an illness. But, according to Saunders, there is hope that we see Towns return to the lineup soon.
“He’s very close,” Saunders said, “but he’s not in the facility because he’s got a bug.”
Saunders went on to say it’s realistic we see Towns play later in their four-game week. The Wolves will host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, face the Pacers in Indiana on Friday and host Toronto on Saturday.
