  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Wednesday

    Towns (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Towns sustained the sprained right thumb during Monday's loss to the Pistons, though he was able to play through the injury, posting 26 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes. With Jericho Sims (back) also listed as questionable, Precious Achiuwa and Ariel Hukporti could see a significant bump in minutes against the 76ers.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double streak continues

    Towns finished with 26 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Monday's 124-119 loss to the Pistons.

    Towns posted his ninth consecutive double-double Monday, albeit in a losing effort. The 29-year-old did struggle a bit from the field, though he is still on pace to shoot a career-high 55.0 percent this season. Despite tying his second-highest minutes total of the season, the star big man appeared to injure his thumb in the contest, though he was dismissive about the injury postgame, per Ian Begley of SportsNet New York. The extent of the injury is unknown, though it could be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in blowout win

    Towns notched 30 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 140-106 victory over Milwaukee.

    Towns delivered a stellar performance in the blowout win, racking up a game-high mark in rebounds while logging his 14th 30-plus-point outing. The star big man recorded his 33rd double-double through 37 regular-season appearances and is also on pace to average a career-high mark in rebounds (14.0). Towns continues to dominate with his new club and has been efficient while doing so, shooting what would be a career-high 55.4 percent from the field.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in ugly loss

    Towns registered 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 126-101 loss to the Thunder.

    The Knicks looked overmatched in this game, but Towns delivered another consistent effort en route to posting his seventh straight double-double. In fact, the star center has not recorded a double-double in only four of his 36 regular-season appearances. He's averaging 25.3 points and a career-high 13.9 boards per game in his first year with the franchise after being traded from the Timberwolves in the offseason.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Will play Friday

    Towns (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Towns will shake off a questionable tag due to right knee patellar tendonopathy. The star big man has appeared in four of the club's last five outings, during which he has averaged 29.8 points, 18.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 37.5 minutes per contest.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Friday

    Towns (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

    Towns returned to the floor for the Knicks during Wednesday's game against the Raptors, recording a double-double with 27 points and 13 rebounds. That was his 31st double-double of the season, as the veteran big man continues to shine in New York. However, if he misses Friday's game, Jericho Sims could see a bump in minutes and possibly be inserted into the starting lineup again like he was against the Magic.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Sixth straight double-double

    Towns logged 27 points (9-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 win over the Raptors.

    The double-double was Towns' sixth straight and 31st of the season, putting him second in the NBA behind only Domantas Sabonis' 32. Towns did miss Monday's contest due to knee soreness, but he's looked plenty healthy when he's been on the court, averaging 30.2 points, 16.5 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks during his double-double streak while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent (11-for-24) from beyond the arc.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Cleared to face Toronto

    Towns (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Toronto, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

    Towns will return from a one-game absence due to right knee tendinitis and will replace Jericho Sims in the Knicks' starting five. In two games against Toronto this season, Towns is averaging 27.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Wednesday

    Towns (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

    After missing Monday's loss to Orlando due to right knee tendinitis, Towns is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's favorable matchup against the Raptors. If the superstar big man is unable to go, fantasy managers can expect Jalen Brunson to do the heavy lifting on offense, while Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa figure to split Towns' vacated minutes at center for the Knicks. Brunson has averaged 30.7 points, 7.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 37.9 minutes over three games without Towns available this season.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Ruled out Monday

    Towns (knee) won't play in Monday's game against the Magic, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Right knee tendinitis will keep Towns out Monday, and the star big man's next chance to play arrives Wednesday against the Raptors. Jericho Sims will start at center for the Knicks against Orlando, Steve Popper of Newsday reports, but Precious Achiuwa is the more likely candidate to soak up the lion's share of the minutes at the five.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Questionable for Monday

    Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Magic.

    Towns seemingly picked up the right knee injury in Saturday's loss to Chicago, during which he posted 44 points (17-29 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes. The star center was able to go through a postgame weightlifting session Saturday, which bodes well for his status against Orlando. If the big man is sidelined Monday, Precious Achiuwa will likely slot into the starting five, with Jericho Sims seeing a bump in minutes off the bench.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Downplays late-game injury

    Towns said following Saturday's 139-126 loss to the Bulls that he didn't require any further testing after he sustained an apparent lower-body injury late in the fourth quarter, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.

    Neither Towns nor the Knicks offered confirmation on the nature of the injury the big man suffered when he fell hard to the court after converting an and-one play with about 1:36 remaining in the game. After hitting the ensuing free throw, Towns checked out of the game two seconds later, but so did the Knicks' other four starters while head coach Tom Thibodeau essentially conceded the win to the Bulls, who held a 12-point lead. In addition to indicating he didn't require post-game tests, Towns went through a postgame weightlifting session, which is seemingly another good sign for his status heading into Monday's game against the Magic.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Exits late in fourth quarter

    Towns headed to the locker room in the latter stages of the fourth quarter during Saturday's 139-126 loss to the Bulls due to an apparent hamstring injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. He finished with 44 points (17-29 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes.

    Towns checked out of the contest with 1:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, when the outcome was well in hand. The Knicks didn't provide an official update on his status, so fantasy managers will need to keep close tabs on his status before New York's next game Monday versus the Magic. If Towns is forced to miss his third game of the season, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would likely be tasked with absorbing most of the vacated center minutes.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Monster double-double

    Towns recorded 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 22 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 117-107 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Towns has been on a tear on both ends of the court of late, and the star big man notched a fourth straight double-double despite the Knicks' fourth-quarter meltdown in this game. He has had 26 double-doubles across his last 29 games since the beginning of November, averaging 25.0 points, 14.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during that span. Furthermore, this was his fourth game with at least 20 rebounds this season, something he didn't do often during his previous seasons with Minnesota.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Red-hot scoring streak continues

    Towns contributed 31 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 victory over Utah.

    Towns continued his red-hot scoring streak against the Jazz on Wednesday, dropping a game-high 31 points while helping shoulder the load in Jalen Brunson's (calf) absence. The veteran big man has scored 30 or more points in three straight games and 12 times this season, including two scoring performances of 44 or more points. This was also his third game of the campaign with 20-plus rebounds.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Efficient performance Saturday

    Towns chipped in 30 points (13-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 44 minutes during Saturday's 136-132 overtime win over the Wizards.

    Even though seeing Towns record double-doubles was almost automatic at one point, he accomplished that feat after not doing so in his previous two contests. The star big man was extremely efficient Saturday and outplayed Alexandre Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, with absolute ease. This was Towns' 26th double-double of the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Rebounds with big double-double

    Towns totaled 31 points (11-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 139-125 win over Toronto.

    Towns teased his first triple-double of the campaign in Monday's easy win, co-leading the Knicks with 31 points alongside OG Anunoby and tying with Jalen Brunson for the team high with seven assists. It was an emphatic rebound performance for Towns, who had scored a season-low 11 points on 3-for-10 shooting from the field in Saturday's win over New Orleans. The star big man continues to flourish during his first year in New York, shooting a career-high 45.6 percent from downtown and averaging a career-best 13.9 rebounds over 27 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Ekes out double-double against Pels

    Towns registered 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over New Orleans.

    It was the 24th double-double of the season for Towns in only 26 games, and he's already blown past the 22 in 62 regular-season contests he managed in 2023-24, his final campaign with Minnesota. The 29-year-old center has a double-double in 17 straight appearances, and his 24 puts him second in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis' 25.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Shines in win over Minnesota

    Towns posted 32 points (10-12 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 20 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 133-107 win over Minnesota.

    Towns turned heads in this huge win over his former team. He became the second player in NBA history with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers made in a game, something only DeMarcus Cousins had achieved in the past. Towns extended his double-double streak to 16 games, but he's taken his game to another level of late. The star big man is averaging 23.0 points, 18.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game since the beginning of December.
