Timberwolves-Hawks game preview: Karl-Anthony Towns could return to action Towns, recovering after meniscus surgery, is listed as questionable for Friday's game.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Expected to return Friday Towns (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks, is expected to return to action against Atlanta, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Towns has been trending toward a return to action recently, as he was recently cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities in practice. He was expected to return sometime during the Timberwolves' final three games of the regular season, and it appears likely that he'll be back in action for the team's penultimate matchup. Assuming he's available, Minnesota will likely monitor his playing time ahead of the playoffs.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Questionable against Atlanta Towns (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Towns has missed the last 18 games due to a left knee injury, but he's been ramping up his activity level in practice recently and could be back in action for one of the Timberwolves' final two regular-season games. If he's able to suit up Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 28-year-old face a minutes restriction to preserve his health ahead of the postseason.

Jaylen Clark - Another absence coming Clark (Achilles) is out for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
Impact Clark has yet to suit up this season while recovering from right Achilles surgery. He should be considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Phoenix.

Timberwolves playoff seeding possibilities after Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets The Wolves can still get the No. 2 seed if they win out, while the No. 1 seed looks unlikely after Wednesday's loss.

Mike Conley - Drills five threes in loss Conley finished Wednesday's 116-107 loss to Denver with 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes.
Impact Despite the loss, the Timberwolves have to be encouraged by Conley's recent stat lines. The veteran has also enjoyed a great attendance record during his first full season in Minneapolis, missing only six games during the 2023-24 campaign. Conley has 10 three-pointers over his last two games, and converted 55.6 percent of his long-range shots in the process.

Rudy Gobert - Bests Jokic in rebound battle Gobert logged 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to Denver.
Impact Although Gobert couldn't contain Jokic's scoring barrage, he fared about as well as possible off the glass against the presumptive MVP. The defensive stalwart played 39 minutes and seemed to run out of gas in the final frame, allowing Jokic to contribute nine points during a 22-7 run. The Timberwolves hope to have Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) back for the playoffs, and his presence could be the difference-maker if Minnesota meets Denver again in the Western Conference Finals.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Paces team with 25 points Edwards had 25 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Edwards played close to his seasonal averages in the loss, although his secondary numbers dipped a bit. His 15-point third quarter helped the Timberwolves maintain a slim lead, but he failed to score in the fourth quarter where they were outscored 22-7. Edwards and company still have a shot at the top seed, but they'll need to win their final two games and get help from the Nuggets. They also need to stay ahead of the Thunder to earn second place, so Edwards should carry a full load in the final week.
