Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Towns is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to bilateral knee soreness.
Towns didn't suffer an apparent injury in Wednesday's victory over Utah, so it's possible the Knicks are considering giving the All-Star big man the night off versus an inferior opponent. Mitchell Robinson will likely step into the starting lineup if Towns sits out, which would make the former a viable plug-and-play fantasy option.
Towns closed Wednesday's 134-117 victory over Utah with 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 30 minutes.
Towns finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his third consecutive double-double with at least 20 points. He also did a good job as a playmaker and notched at least seven assists for a second consecutive contest. Towns' numbers seem to be trending in the right direction of late. He has scored at least 17 points in six games in a row, tallying five double-doubles while averaging 22.7 points, 12.8 boards and 4.2 dimes per contest over that stretch.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Huge all-around night in loss
Rotowire

Towns appeared to be battling through some sort of lower-body injury heading into halftime, but he started the second half and made a large impact across the board. He scored 30-plus points for the first time since Dec. 27 and now has six double-doubles in six March appearances. Towns, Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby continue to lead the charge for New York offensively, but the Knicks received only 14 points from their bench Monday, which proved to be too much to overcome.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Big double-double in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Towns totaled 25 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 loss to the Lakers.
The double-double was the sixth straight for Towns -- technically they'd be dozen-dozens, as he has at least 12 points and rebounds in all six -- and his NBA-leading 45th of the season. Over 10 games since the All-Star break, the veteran center is averaging 19.7 points, 12.1 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 steals.

The veteran center extended his double-double streak to five games, and it was Towns' league-leading 44th of the season -- three ahead of Nikola Jokic. Since the beginning of February, Towns has 13 double-doubles in 15 games, averaging 18.7 points, 12.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor.

Towns dominated the glass, notching his league-leading 43rd double-double of the season, but he also made a fair amount of mistakes in the narrow loss. Towns fouled out for the first time since the All-Star break, finished with a team-worst minus-18 differential, and with him unavailable down the stretch, the Knicks had their three-game win streak snapped. They'll look to get things back on track Friday in Denver.

Towns registered 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during the Knicks' 126-111 loss to the Pistons on Thursday.
It took a while for Towns to get going during Thursday's contest, as the star center scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half and finished as the Knicks' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (33 points). Towns leads the NBA with 38 double-doubles, eight of which have come in as many games. He has averaged 18.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 29.6 minutes per game since Feb. 1. However, Towns is connecting on 25.0 percent of his three-point attempts on just 3.4 3PA/G over that span, which is an area he'll look to improve on as the Knicks make a final push before the start of the postseason.
Towns and Team Knicks defeated Team Cameron in the final round of the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday.
