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
According to the Knicks' injury report, Towns was added due to illness. The RotoWire staff noted that he woke up feeling unwell.
"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."
Recent Performance
Towns started his second season with the Knicks slowly but has improved in the last few games, consistently recording at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists in the last three games.
Despite this, his offensive numbers through seven games remain below his career averages. He is currently averaging 20.4 points per game, his lowest since his rookie season, and shooting a career-low 40.8% from the field.
Matchups Against Former Team
Since being traded to the Knicks last season, Towns has played only one game against the Timberwolves, which took place in December. In that game, he put up impressive stats:
- 32 points
- 20 rebounds
- 6 assists
- 2 steals
- 38 minutes played
This matchup may carry added significance given Towns' strong performance against his former team.
Author's summary: Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for the upcoming game versus Minnesota due to illness but has recently shown signs of returning to form after a slow start to the season.
