Summary

After missing 13 games over the course of 28 days in the league’s health and safety protocol, Karl-Anthony Towns returned to the lineup on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Does this mean we’ve entered a new window of the Timberwolves’ season? On today’s pod, topics include: - KAT shares details on his experience with COVID-19 (audio included) What he went through and how he appears to be back to full health. - The decision to continue playing Josh Okogie after the Clippers opted to leave him wide open How Okogie’s man not respecting him on the perimeter totally deleted the spacing in the Wolves’ offense and how the offense cratered in response. - How players like Malik Beasley will need to adjust to playing next to KAT - What would the Wolves’ record be if KAT had been healthy all season?
