Karl-Anthony Towns Injury Update Ahead of Knicks vs Timberwolves
Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable due to illness ahead of the New York Knicks' game against his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Injury Status and Team Report
According to the Knicks' injury report, Towns was added due to illness. RotoWire staff noted that he had been feeling unwell since waking up.
"Towns was added to the injury report overnight, presumably after waking up under the weather. There's a good chance he warms up before a decision is made on his status, as it will take a lot to keep Towns out of the lineup."
Performance Recap This Season
Towns started his second season with the Knicks slowly but regained form in recent games. Over the last three games, he has consistently recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Despite these recent performances, his offensive numbers across seven games are below his career averages. He is averaging 20.4 points per game, the lowest since his rookie year, along with a career-low 40.8% field goal percentage.
Matchups Against Former Team
Since being traded from Minnesota to the Knicks last season, Towns has faced the Timberwolves only once. In that December game, he delivered an impressive performance with 32 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals in 38 minutes.
This game stands as perhaps a personal statement against his former team.
