Karl-Anthony Towns Posts 25-Point, 13-Rebound Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his third double-double in four games on Monday, finishing a 125-118 overtime loss to Memphis with 25 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. This could've been a huge game for KAT with better efficiency, as he shot only 9-for-20 from the field and 3-for-9 from downtown. Towns' line included […]

D'Angelo Russell Returns With A 30-Point Effort

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell ended a two-game absence on Monday and crushed it against the Grizzlies in a 125-118 overtime loss with a team-high 30 points on 10-for-22 shooting.

Jarred Vanderbilt Heading To The Bench Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt will head to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Josh Okogie will slide back into the starting five.

Patrick Beverley Set To Play Against Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is set to play and will start in Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Russell was limited to just 17 minutes after injuring his ankle Monday- and won't be healthy enough to suit up for the upcoming contest. Russell's absence should mean more ball-handling opportunities for Jordan McLaughlin and Malik Beasley- though much of the starting […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Bounces Back In Loss

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns rebounded from a poor offensive night in his last outing in Monday's loss to the Magic. Towns uncharacteristically struggled from the free-throw line but was otherwise brilliant, scoring 23 points, with a season-high 16 rebounds, six assists, four triples, and a pair of steals in 37 minutes.
