These couple possessions from last night when Finch went with both Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid on the floor together are probably our best indication of how he will arrange the chess board once Karl-Anthony Towns comes back — particularly notable because Kyle Anderson is in at the 3 pic.twitter.com/zCQDgJiIcC – 6:36 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards both listed as questionable to play tomorrow against Atlanta.
Only player that has been ruled out for the game is Luka Garza, and that’s only because Garza is playing in the Iowa Wolves G-League game tomorrow.
Finally some health… – 5:18 PM

More on this storyline
After missing nearly four months with a Grade 3 calf strain, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns plans to return for Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, he told ESPN. Towns will do a final check before the game, but he said he expects to play for the first time since Nov. 28. “I’m super excited to get back out on the court and help my team because these next nine games are super important,” Towns said. -via ESPN / March 22, 2023
Towns said he doesn’t anticipate any restrictions once he’s back despite the lengthy rehabilitation process he’s been through over the past four months. “I’m just trying to pick up where I left off,” Towns said. “I was telling my dad right before I got hurt, I felt the most complete as a player in my career. From defensive end, from offensive end, from a mental aspect, leadership aspect … I felt very complete.” -via ESPN / March 22, 2023
Karl-Anthony Towns, who suffered the injury in a game vs. the Washington Wizards, said a Grade 3 calf sprain “is really just a tear.” “When you have a torn calf, that’s a significant one,” Towns said. “It takes time. And being my size, you don’t want it to become like Kevin Durant in Golden State.” -via ESPN / March 22, 2023
