Karl-Anthony Towns’ playing status against the Raptors
Given its question mark As for the injury report, there is currently some doubt as to whether Towns will be able to suit up for the Knicks’ game against the Raptors on Tuesday night. Towns is joined on New York’s injury report by point guard Myles McBride, who will miss the contest with a sprained ankle, and point guard Landry Shamet, who remains out with a sprained shoulder.
Meanwhile, the Raptors will be without former Knicks wing RJ Barrett for this contest, while point guard Jamal Shead is questionable with a right quad contusion.
Overall, this matchup looks like an intriguing one between two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference this season. The Knicks have been hot lately, but overall have struggled to pick up wins away from Madison Square Garden this year. Meanwhile, the Raptors started the season on fire, but have since come crashing down to Earth over the past few weeks.
As previously mentioned, the winner of this game will move to Las Vegas to compete in the Final Four of the third annual NBA Cup. Last year’s winner, the Milwaukee Bucks, are no longer in the picture, so the tournament will see its third different winner in three years this season.
The Knicks and Raptors will tip off at 7:30 PM ET.
