This is the end that we feared. Released last night in the 3rd quarter against Washington, Karl-Anthony Towns is suffering from a sore leg which – according to doctors – will keep him off the court until 2023. (Very) hard blow for Minny.
We thought that the defeat in Washington was the last straw, it only filled the vase three quarters in the end. According to information fromAdrian Wojnarowski et Shams Charania, the x-ray passed by Karl-Anthony Towns would have revealed a strained right calf. Big thin but small phew: it’s not the Achilles tendon as the images of his outing, grinding teeth and arms around the teammates, suggested. The triple All-Star interior thus takes the direction of the infirmary to wither there during 4 to 6 weeks. A twist of fate with terrible timing for the Wolves (10-11) who remain on three consecutive defeats: an old setback in Charlotte, then 137 points against the Warriors, before eating 142 last night in the capital. Pile-hair also when his association with Rudy Gobert began to make people talk. The two interiors neutralize each other in their offensive movements and are struggling for the moment to tickle the opposing big pieces. With his teammate sidelined until January 2023, perhaps Rudy will be able to fit in more… fluidly with Chris Finch’s attacking systems. In any case, there is more than that to do: take advantage of this twist of fate, and pray that when Towns returns, Wolves have a balance sheet.
