Impact Towns returned for eight contests at the end of the 2022-23 campaign after a multi-month absence due to a severe calf strain, so there is precedent for Minnesota to re-incorporate Towns before the playoffs if he is medically cleared. The 28-year-old is due for re-evaluation on April 9, which marks him being four weeks removed from surgery and leaves four games remaining on Minnesota schedule. The team's regular-season finale comes April 14 versus Phoenix, so Towns' window to return prior to the playoffs is narrow. Overall, his recovery appears to be going smoothly, which bodes extremely well for Minnesota's postseason aspirations.
