Towns walked off the court under his own power with just seconds remaining, though he was clearly hobbled.

The T-Wolves are now six games back of a playoff spot in the Western Conference, so they may play it safe with Towns. The big man is having another phenomenal season, averaging 24.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game.
