Anthony Edwards was listed at 225 pounds last season, but it has been reported that he gained 10 pounds this offseason.
Karl-Anthony Towns told us today at training camp that he is down to 231 pounds — though Towns should put on some weight as he recovers from his illness. – 3:01 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns didn’t go into details about his illness, but said he was in the hospital. Cleared to just walk again Saturday. When asked if he was worried about missing camp, the season, he said: “There was more drastic things to worry about than basketball at that moment.” – 2:42 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns said he’s at his lowest weight of his career — as both a product of his offseason workout plan and the illness he’s been dealing. Towns said he’s currently 231 pounds.
Watching him shoot at practice today without a shirt on, I would have guessed less than 230 – 2:42 PM

Chris Finch said the team is hoping Karl-Anthony Towns will be back doing some “low-level” basketball stuff early next week, based on doctors’ recommendation. He added he didn’t think Towns’ absence so far was setting the Wolves back in terms of what they want to install in camp. – 6:30 PM
