This went through the grater mostly unnoticed Thursday, but Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns posted a photo of his blood-stained uniform following Minnesota’s opening-night win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It’s unclear whose blood is on his uniform, but it’s splattered from top to bottom.
At no point in the game was a player from either team noticeably bleeding, though one might argue the Wolves had to stop the bleeding when the Thunder went on a 27-5 run to turn a 16-point deficit into a six-point lead in a span of five minutes in the third quarter.
Towns did take a hard fall when Lu Dort appeared to shove him during a fast break, though Towns stayed in the game. Dort was not called for a foul.

Towns finished the game with 12 points, six rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes.
