The Dominican Karl Anthony Towns will be "several weeks off" due to a right calf injury, his team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, said in a statement on Tuesday.
Towns underwent an MRI which detected a torn right calf that will force the Wolves star to be sidelined indefinitely.
The Dominican player had an average of 20.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game with the Wolves.
In addition, he sported a brilliant 50.5% shooting accuracy.
Towns was injured this Monday in the third quarter of the game lost against the Washington Wizards.
Visibly in pain, the Wolves star had to leave the field helped by his French teammate Rudy Gobert and a member of the coaching staff.
