Karl-Anthony Towns Set to Return as Timberwolves Vie for Top Seed

Minnesota Timberwolves anticipate a significant boost with Karl-Anthony Towns' return against the Hawks, intensifying the battle for the Western Conference's top seed.

Karl-Anthony Towns, sidelined since March 4 due to a meniscus tear, is expected to play on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Timberwolves are currently one game behind the Denver Nuggets in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, with just two games remaining.
Minnesota's performance has remained strong in Towns' absence, maintaining a competitive edge with a 12-6 record.
The return of Towns is poised to enhance Minnesota's offensive dynamics and playoff positioning as the regular season concludes.
The Hawks, struggling in their own conference, will face a rejuvenated Timberwolves team as they attempt to secure a play-in spot.
