Injury Report Details
The Knicks updated Towns' status on the injury report, indicating he woke up feeling unwell. According to RotoWire,
"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."
