The Minnesota Timberwolves are listing superstar big man Karl-Anthony Towns and small forward Andrew Wiggins as questionable to play in their game against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
Towns is dealing with right knee inflammation after tweaking his knee on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. The All-Star center didn't play on Sunday versus the New York Knicks.
Wiggins, meanwhile, is suffering from a left quad contusion. The swingman hasn't played in the Timberwolves' last two games.
