Towns was involved in a car accident last Thursday on his way to the airport in Minnesota ahead of Friday's game against the Knicks when a semitrailer truck hit the car he was riding in from behind. Police said Towns complained of a minor injury but declined medical attention at the scene.
Before the wreck, Towns had not missed a game in his four NBA seasons, starting in 303 consecutive contests for Minnesota.
The 23-year-old is averaging 23.1 points and 12 rebounds per game this season.
