Karl-Anthony Towns injury update: January 8 vs. Raptors

Karl-Anthony Towns injury update: January 8 vs. Raptors

Published:

By: Keagan Smith

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony-Towns is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to a knee injury.

Towns did not appear in the Knicks’ last game, a 104-93 loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Now, his status is in question for what could be his first time missing consecutive contests this season.

The 29-year-old big man is blossoming in his first season as a Knick, averaging 25.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game across his 34 appearances.

With Towns out of the rotation in New York’s previous contest, centers Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa played 29 and 22 minutes, respectively.

With a 24-13 record, the Knicks currently sit third-best in the Eastern Conference standings.
