For the first time since Nov. 28, the Timberwolves star is poised to take the court.
The Timberwolves are poised to get a major boost for the final playoff push on Wednesday: Karl-Anthony Towns is back.
After missing 51 consecutive games with a Grade 3 calf strain, Towns is set to return to the court for Minnesota’s game on Wednesday against the Hawks, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Barring any setbacks in pregame warmups, the three-time All-Star will make his first appearance since Nov. 28.

The NBA apparently took notice of Fred VanVleet’s criticism of referee Ben Taylor.
Ben Taylor is young for an NBA referee at 37 years old. He already has 10 seasons of experience as an official in the league, and was on the floor for LeBron James’ 61-point game against the Charlotte Bobcats back in 2014. Few fans knew Taylor’s name coming into this year, and that’s a good thing: refs want to fly under the radar and do their job fairly and accurately. If people are taking notice of a specific ref, that probably means they messed up.
He is considered one of the top recruits in the country at just 15 years old.
Cameron Boozer, the son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, was named Gatorade‘s National Boys Basketball Player of the Year on Wednesday. The award is one of the most prestigious high school basketball awards in the country and is given to a player who demonstrates excellence on the court and in the classroom.
Past winners of the award include Jayson Tatum, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kevin Love, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
Virginia Tech fans got the ultimate approval for their makeshift “Enter Sandman” singalong… from Metallica themselves!
Even though Sunday’s NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament game was held at Virginia Tech’s home court, it technically was a “neutral site” game. That meant the Hokies couldn’t use their typical pregame music or anything that would be deemed as an advantage.
However, that didn’t stop the VT loyalists from taking matters into their own hands… and voices.
The coolest part? Metallica tweeted out and approved of their metal moment.
His game-ending strikeout was more impressive than was immediately evident.
Tuesday’s World Baseball Classic championship game ended just the way every baseball fan hoped it would—with Mike Trout facing his Angels teammate Shohei Ohtani.
After Ohtani walked leadoff hitter Jeff McNeil and got Mookie Betts to ground into a double play, Trout came to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning and the United States trailing Japan, 3–2. What Ohtani did next will be talked about for years.
His first pitch, a slider, missed low.

The Owls have been one of the best teams in the country all year. Now everyone is getting to see it in March Madness.
Cinderella (adjective): a surprise team that exceeds expectations of those that were set. An underestimated team that wins the hearts of college basketball fans everywhere.
As Alijah Martin went airborne to attempt a windmill 360 dunk at the end of Florida Atlantic’s 78-70 victory over Farleigh Dickinson, the adoration of the plucky Owls from Conference USA turned quickly into vitriol.
The highly-rated ballcarrier will forgo the opportunity to remain in the Buckeye State and instead opt to play for ‘That Team Up North.’
Michigan has gotten the best of Ohio State on the gridiron in the last two years and now the Wolverines have secured a win on the recruiting trail in the Buckeye State.
Jordan Marshall, a four-star running back recruit from Cincinnati, committed to Michigan over Ohio State on Tuesday evening.
Boozer is only the second sophomore in the program’s history to win the award for boys basketball.
Moving the football was an issue for the New England Patriots during the 2022 NFL season. While the offense as a whole struggled mightily, the Pats averaging just 208 yards passing per game paints a very clear picture of how grim things were.
Much of the poor offensive output falls on the shoulders of Mac Jones who saw his completion percentage drop in year two compared to his rookie campaign while throwing just 14 touchdowns in 14 games a season ago.
Jones missed time after picking up an ankle injury in Week 3, which paved the way for Bailey Zappe to take over.
Talks between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight championship fight April 29 fell apart when the two sides couldn’t agree on other material terms critical to the deal beyond the purse split, sources told ESPN.
