Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns questionable for second Nets clash
NY Post
Karl-Anthony Towns was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nets at the Garden after the center missed Friday’s win with a left knee contusion.
Towns went through shootaround and warm-ups prior to the game versus the Nets before it was determined he wasn’t comfortable enough, according to Tom Thibodeau on Friday.
The injury occurred during a collision with Chicago’s Zach LaVine late in Wednesday’s home loss to the Bulls.
The Knicks were hopeful Saturday’s off day might give Towns enough time to be ready for Sunday.
The same was true with Miles McBride, Thibodeau said, after McBride also was sidelined for that game with a left knee injury.
While Towns leads the Knicks in points (26.7) and rebounds (12.7), McBride has excelled as the team’s sixth man, averaging a career-best 10.7 points and 26 minutes in his 11 games this season.
