Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Shines as facilitator in return
Towns (knee) posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 109-106 win over the Hawks.
Towns made his return to the lineup for the first time since March 4 after a five-plus-week recovery from surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. The Timberwolves didn't announce heading into Friday's game that Towns would be on a specific minutes restriction, but he ended up seeing more playing time than some might have expected in his return from a major injury. Though Towns' shooting was off the mark in his return, his eight assists matched his season high. The Timberwolves are currently tied with the Thunder and Nuggets atop the Western Conference standings, so expect Towns to take on more minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale with the Suns while Minnesota remains in a battle for the No. 1 seed.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Expected to return Friday
Towns (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks, is expected to return to action against Atlanta, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Towns has been trending toward a return to action recently, as he was recently cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities in practice. He was expected to return sometime during the Timberwolves' final three games of the regular season, and it appears likely that he'll be back in action for the team's penultimate matchup. Assuming he's available, Minnesota will likely monitor his playing time ahead of the playoffs.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Not planning to play Wednesday
Towns (knee) isn't planning to play Wednesday against the Nuggets but could be back in action Friday against Atlanta or Sunday against Phoenix, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
A previous report suggested that Towns could return as early as Wednesday, but it appears as though the 28-year-old will rest for at least one more game before potentially getting back on the court to close out the regular season. He underwent surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee in mid-March and will likely have his playing time monitored if he's able to return for the final weekend of the regular season.

Towns reportedly participated in a scrimmage Sunday, per Shams Charania of The Athletic, and is expected to suit up before the regular season ends.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Scrimmages, close to return
Towns (knee) participated in a scrimmage Sunday and is nearing a return to game action, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. However, Towns will remain out for Tuesday's game versus Washington.
The Timberwolves continue to have optimism that Towns will return before the regular season concludes, giving him a four-game window over the next week to suit up. The talented big man had surgery in mid-March to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee and was slated to miss at least four weeks. If he is cleared to suit up this week, Towns will likely be limited but should have enough time to ramp up his conditioning before the postseason. Per Charania, when asked about Towns' potential return, teammate Anthony Edwards said, "KAT will be back."

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Regular-season return possible
Towns continues to rehab his surgically repaired left meniscus and "there is optimism he could be back before the end of the regular season," Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Towns returned for eight contests at the end of the 2022-23 campaign after a multi-month absence due to a severe calf strain, so there is precedent for Minnesota to re-incorporate Towns before the playoffs if he is medically cleared. The 28-year-old is due for re-evaluation April 9, which marks four weeks removed from surgery and leaves four games remaining on Minnesota's schedule. The team's regular-season finale comes April 14 versus Phoenix, so Towns' window to return before the playoffs is narrow. Overall, his recovery appears to be going smoothly, which bodes extremely well for Minnesota's postseason aspirations.
