Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns will not be available for Tuesday’s game as he continues to heal from a dislocated left wrist that he injured a day after Christmas in the game against the Utah Jazz. The Timberwolves have no timetable for his return until he gets re-evaluated this week.

Josh Okogie didn’t play in the previous three games because of a hamstring injury and his status is day-to-day.

Shooting guard Jaylen Nowell hasn’t played this season due to a left soleus strain. He is doubtful to make an appearance tonight.
