[Charania] Devastating injury – and timing – for what’s been a monster season for Towns and the No. 1 seed Timberwolves (43-19). Towns has been gathering second opinions on the meniscus tear over the last 24 hours, sources said.

Damn. This sucks.
Holy cow that’s terrible
Horrible timing honestly
When the fuck did this happen
Fuck injuries man. Just completely derailed their season.
Ant man gotta step now fr now
Congrats on being first
There are 5 identical posts after this one
Either way he’s done for the season right?
I’m seeing anywhere between 4 weeks and 6 months on the recovery prayers up
Is he gonna consider the meniscus removal thingy? I hope not…
Kill me
Is there any chance that he’ll return for playoffs? (I’m a little stupid so I’m not sure how certain injuries affect people)
That’s okay, I didn’t want to stay subbed here or watch basketball for the rest of the season anyway.
Why would someone need a second opinion on a torn meniscus? Copium or what?
I’m not entirely sure if it makes the Wolves that much worse to divide KAT’s touches between Edwards and their role players
Hey doc, this other doctor says I have a torn meniscus. What do you think?
Doctor: (looks at MRI) Yeah, you have a torn meniscus
Oh….uhhh, OK…
We should have known something big was coming, this is Minnesota sports. Draymond is throwing a party right now and the league is pumped the Warriors/Lakers will move to the second round
Naz will step up
big balls moment, 2024. Why can’t we have nice things
Meniscus is a pain tolerance thing as long as it doesn’t male that lip that catches weird and males your knee lock up. Still that shit fucking hurts when you overuse it.
The Thunder could be bottom feeders and I’d still hope he just sits out. Not worth risking the rest of his career for one run this early
I know I’m stealing this from somewhere, but if an athlete is seeking second opinions it usually means the first opinion was very bad news.
Ik sometimes freak accidents happen
But can we just get rid of back to backs unless they’re in the same city
Sleep and time are the 2 biggest factors when considering recovery of injuries that don’t require surgery
Wolves can still make a deep run. I think their lineup is good enough to bounce thru the remaining games. Ant, Gobert and Conley plus the supporting cast is as good as any contending team right now.
For the sake of Towns’s career, I hope he takes his time to recover.
It sucks, because the Wolves are insanely talented when healthy this year. Gobert’s back is finally healthy and Conley probably has 1-2 more elite years left.
However, Towns is 28. We’ve seen what happens when stars ignore their injuries for short-term playoff success. They never come back the same.
He’s already proven he can gel with the team. No need to rush the process.
