Aside from during the playoffs themselves, the news couldn\u2019t have come at much of a worse time, as the Wolves are clinging to the Western Conference lead that they\u2019ve held all season long with just 20 games left to play.<\/p>\n<h2>Timberwolves Clinging To #1 Spot In The West<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely, sources tell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAthletic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheAthletic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Stadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Stadium<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JlPe73PnN9\">pic.twitter.com\/JlPe73PnN9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1765740182198722833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>How will the team perform without Towns down the stretch, and how will their playoff chances and seeding be affected?<\/p>\n<p>Towns is Minnesota\u2019s second leading scorer this season, and is one of the three pieces that are key to the team\u2019s success this year. He\u2019s been durable as well, missing just two of the team\u2019s first 62 games of the regular season, and was named an All-Star for the fourth time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>The Timberwolves will certainly miss having him on the floor, and it is unlikely that they\u2019ll be able to keep their spot atop the West in his absence. They rank 11th in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/nba\/\">NBA<\/a> in terms of toughest remaining schedules, including three games against the Denver Nuggets, with whom they are currently battling for supremacy in the conference. They\u2019ll play two each against the Cavaliers and Suns as well, and one against each of the Warriors and Clippers.<\/p>\n<h2>Only A Collapse Would Put Them Outside Of The Top-6<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Brutal Luck Of Minnesota Sports Fans Continues After Karl-Anthony Towns Tears His Meniscus And Is Out Indefinitely <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/foakvS6r8S\">https:\/\/t.co\/foakvS6r8S<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fo6iorJ4LH\">pic.twitter.com\/fo6iorJ4LH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/barstoolsports\/status\/1765780707836674289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>If Anthony Edwards is able to elevate his game even further, and role players can step up, then there is plenty of reason to believe that the Timberwolves will remain in the top-4. The #1 spot in the West currently has a 6-game lead on the 5th place Pelicans, and a 7.5 game lead on the 7th seed and first team out in terms of having to play in the Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>It would require an epic collapse from Minnesota to drop that far in the standings, but the recipe may be just right. The team has been questioned all season long about how long they\u2019d be able to stay in the mix with the championship contenders, and Towns\u2019 injury could be the way that the team finally crumbles.<\/p>\n<p>The Timberwolves are in action on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. They entered the game as 1.5 point underdogs.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/how-will-the-timberwolves-finish-without-karl-anthony-towns-in-the-lineup\/\">How Will The Timberwolves Finish Without Karl-Anthony Towns In The Lineup?<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a serious blow on Thursday, when it was announced that star big man Karl-Anthony Towns\\ would be out indefinitely with a torn meniscus.
