Effective Immediately

The Minnesota Timberwolves have suspended their team doctor, David Thureen, indefinitely, the team announced Monday. The suspension is effective immediately.

Allegations

The suspension comes after allegations surfaced that Thureen had engaged in inappropriate conduct with a female patient. The allegations were first reported by The Athletic.

The Timberwolves said in a statement that they are "aware of the allegations" and are "taking them very seriously." The team said it is "conducting a thorough investigation" and will "take appropriate action" once the investigation is complete.

Impact on Team

Thureen's suspension is a significant blow to the Timberwolves, who are already dealing with a number of injuries. The team is currently 11-15 and is in 12th place in the Western Conference.
