A bad start to the Timberwolves' season got worse Tuesday when the team announced all star Karl-Anthony Towns will miss several weeks due to a calf injury.
Catch up quick: A new roster that paired Towns with another 7-footer, Rudy Gobert, has not meshed so far. The team fell to 10-11 on Monday following a blowout loss to the Washington Wizards.
- Towns and Gobert have struggled to get back on defense and, despite their size, the team has been out-rebounded this season.
The intrigue: NBA teams usually make assessments — and changes — after 20 to 25 games.
- Towns' injury will force head coach Chris Finch's hand and we'll soon see how the team plays with just one big fella on the court at a time.
- Our first look at the Towns-less Wolves is Wednesday at 7pm when they host the Memphis Grizzlies.
