The Timberwolves Are Surprisingly Successful Since Karl-Anthony Towns Injury

Can the Timberwolves Maintain Their Momentum Without Their Star Player?

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA since Karl-Anthony Towns went down with a torn meniscus in early March. The Timberwolves are 11-5 since Towns' injury, and they have moved into the eighth seed in the Western Conference.

Towns is the Timberwolves' best player, and his absence was expected to be a major blow to their playoff hopes. However, the Timberwolves have shown that they can win without him.

The Timberwolves have been led by Anthony Edwards, who has averaged 26.8 points per game since Towns went down. Edwards has also been getting help from D'Angelo Russell, who has averaged 21.3 points per game since Towns' injury.

The Timberwolves' defense has also been impressive since Towns went down. The Timberwolves have allowed just 107.3 points per game since Towns' injury, which is fourth-best in the NBA.

The Timberwolves have a tough schedule remaining, but they have shown that they can win without Towns. If they can continue to play well, they could make a run at the playoffs.
