Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was clearly hurting at the end of his team’s first round series against the Memphis Grizzlies. The injuries were enough that Towns underwent several surgeries following his final game of the season.
Towns underwent stem cell treatment and platelet-rich plasma injections in both knees, his left ankle, left wrist and right middles finger on Friday. Towns chose to play through in the injuries during the playoffs. He elected to have the procedures down now in hopes of being fully ready for training camp this fall.
Towns was dealing with pain in both knees, especially his right knee, which he wore a sleeve on during the playoffs. He also had a cyst in his left ankle, a subluxated left wrist with ligament damage and an aggravated joint on the middle finger of his right hand.
