• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Passive showing Sunday

  12H ago • By RotoWire

  Towns chipped in two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-125 win over Miami. Towns struggled to get much going, turning in season lows in both points and boards. The superstar big man had scored in double digits in 23 of his 25 appearances prior to Sunday, so this performance appears to be an aberration. Over his last eight outings, Towns has averaged 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per game.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Good to go Friday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Towns (knee) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. After sitting out Thursday's win over the Pacers due to left knee soreness, Towns will shed his probable tag for the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. Over five regular-season appearances in December, the star big man has averaged 25.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both back in the lineup, Ariel Hukporti should see a significant dip in minutes.

With Towns expected back, Ariel Hukporti will likely slide back to the bench after logging 27 minutes Thursday.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Won't go Thursday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Towns will miss his second matchup of December, this time due to a knee injury he picked up during Tuesday's game against the Spurs. The Knicks are decimated without Towns, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Josh Hart (abdomen), so it'll be up to the likes of Guerschon Yabusele, Ariel Hukporti, Jordan Clarkson and Pacome Dadiet to step up in the frontcourt.
