UPDATE: Towns has been ruled out.
Jericho Sims gets the start but Precious Achiuwa will likely be the more fantasy-relevant player.
Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a knee injury with 96 seconds left in Saturday’s game against the Bulls and is questionable for Monday’s game against the Magic.
The Knicks center went up for a dunk but pivoted to a layup as two Bulls defenders converged. He injured himself on the fall. Towns made the free throw but then immediately exited the game.
Towns has missed two games this season. Jericho Sims started both but only played 18 and six minutes. If Towns is unable to go, Precious Achiuwa would likely be the fantasy-relevant big man for the Knicks.
With Towns off the court this season, Jalen Brunson has seen a 4.7 percent usage rate bump to 34.75 percent.
