Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunobia’s injury status against the Celtics
Cities and Anunobi are listed as suspicious against the Celtics, and will likely go through warmups before their status is updated. Josh Hart is also listed as questionable as he deals with inflammation in his right ankle.
Towns suffered a laceration to his eye against the Denver Nuggets, and he was able to play even after the injury. Even during the game he made it known that he wanted to continue playing, and he did.
“I want to play. It’s a great game, it’s great basketball that’s on TV right now, and you know, that’s what the fans want,” Towns said. “It’s okay, I look like I fought Shakur Stevenson.”
Towns was able to play after, so it wouldn’t be a shock if he played against the Celtics unless something changed in his eye.
This is a matchup that could go far in the standings, as the Celtics are one game ahead of the Knicks as the No. 2 seed.
