HEADLINE: Kentucky Wildcats are pleased to announced Karl-Anthony Towns arival today….

The timing of KAT’s comeback to the court is ideal because the playoffs are about to begin.

There aren’t many programs that understand basketball injuries to elite big men better than the Kentucky Wildcats.

With nagging ailments, Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, and DeMarcus Cousins have all battled at the best level of basketball.

Nevertheless, KAT, one of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ captains, is expected to return to the court. Before the regular season concludes, he ought to get some playing time.

This is an update from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Shams Charania of The Athletic added that KAT is “expected” to return to the court, implying that a return during the regular season is more likely to occur.

The Wolves’ success this season has been mostly attributed to Anthony Edwards’ rise, but KAT’s consistent excellence has been a mainstay of the Minnesota team for the previous nine years.

Although neither of his season-long averages of 22.1 points nor 8.4 rebounds are particularly high, KAT’s influence is still evident. The Wolves will be a serious title contender after his injury recovery, especially with the players they were able to add to the squad.

KAT’s postseason run will be particularly unique because he only played 29 games the previous season and has only played more than 50 games in two of the previous five seasons.
