Is Karl-Anthony Towns Playing for Knicks Tonight vs. Timberwolves, Julius Randle?
The New York Knicks received a fresh injury update before their Wednesday night game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both teams, holding identical 4-3 records, aim to shake off early-season inconsistency as they face off.
Jalen Brunson, New York’s leading scorer with 29 points per game, is expected to steer the team through this difficult matchup. However, the Knicks are awaiting clarity on the status of their five-time All-Star center, Karl-Anthony Towns.
"Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable due to illness for tonight’s game vs MIN," reported SNY’s Ian Begley on X Wednesday evening.
Towns’ potential absence could put added pressure on Brunson and his teammates. A versatile offensive weapon and key floor-spacer, Towns would have been crucial against a strong Timberwolves defense led by Rudy Gobert, four-time Defensive Player of the Year, along with Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid, both recognized for their defensive prowess in 2024.
