MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota center Karl-Anthony Towns missed the Timberwolves’ game Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans because of a left knee sprain.
Coach Ryan Saunders called Towns “day-to-day” with the injury.
Minnesota hasn’t played since a 124-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Dec. 13 when Towns had 39 points and 12 rebounds in 35:15. In the fourth quarter, Towns went down hard after a missed dunk attempt while being guarded by Montrezl Harrell.
Towns leads the Timberwolves at 26.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game this season.
