X-rays on Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns returned negative after Towns fell and landed on his back in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Towns went up for a dunk with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but he lost his balance on the way down and landed directly on his back. He exited after the fall and didn't return.
Karl-Anthony Towns crashes to the floor late, and was laying down on the bench after this crash. He went back to the locker room before the game was over.
