What happened to Karl-Anthony Towns? Live injury updates for Knicks vs. Trail Blazers on Sunday 1/11/26

UPDATE: Towns will start the second half.

With 32.3 seconds left in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Karl-Anthony Towns was replaced by Mitchell Robinson. Towns hurt his knee and is now in the locker room. There’s been no mention of how the injury occurred.

Prior to exiting, Towns contributed 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 17 minutes of action.

Robinson could see an uptick in playing time with Towns out but he’s usually capped in the low-to-mid 20s. Ariel Hukporti could enter the rotation at center.

If Towns is unable to return, he would be eligible for DraftKings Early Exit.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
