Karl-Anthony Towns had to be assisted off the pitch

Minnesota Timberwolves star player Karl-Anthony Towns had to leave Monday’s game against the Washington Wizards with an injury.

The team then announced that Towns would not return due to a right calf strain. The worrying thing is that the inside star had to be assisted to leave the court, since he could not put weight on his leg.

“Hopefully it’s just a strain,” trainer Chris Finch told The Associated Press of the calf evaluation. “We will evaluate it tomorrow and learn more about it.”

“We’re going to have to see what our options are and who’s available at this point,” Finch said. “We’ll have to figure that out when we have more information on Towns.”
