MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After missing two weeks with a wrist injury, Karl-Anthony Towns will start for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday against the Spurs.
Towns suffered a wrist dislocation as the Wolves defeated the Jazz on December 26. No timetable was given for the injury but the team said Towns would be re-evaluated weekly.
Saturday, after going through warmups, Towns was cleared to play.
With help from rising star rookie Anthony Edwards, the Wolves got out to a 2-0 start to the year with Towns but have lost four straight with their star player hurt. The Wolves will go for a win at home against the 4-4 San Antonio Spurs.
