Karl-Anthony Towns added to the injury report late against the Timberwolves

The New York Knicks are facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, and one of their key players has been added to the injury report. Karl-Anthony Towns was in the report to start the season, but he was still able to leave and play. Ahead of their match against his former team, he’s back at it, but for a different reason, according to James Edwards of The Athletic.

“The Knicks had a clean injury report yesterday for today’s game against Minnesota, but KAT has been added as QUESTIONABLE due to an illness,” Edwards wrote on the Bluesky.

Towns must have just come down with something, and if it’s a serious illness, there’s a good chance he could be sidelined. If it’s something like a stomach bug, he might be able to give it up, since he has almost a full day to get it right. It would be important for the Knicks to have Towns in this game, especially since the Timberwolves have big men like Rudy Gobert and Naz Reed.

Over the past few games, Towns has had some big plays for the Knicks, and he seems to be starting to find his groove on offense. Before the start of the season, there were questions about what his role would be in the offense, and The cities had no answers.

“Honestly, I don’t know… I don’t know,” Towns told SNI. “But we get it. Honestly, I just don’t know … it’s just different. It’s different.”

Head coach Mike Brown also had low expectations from the start of the season when talking about the offense and how they would fit together.

“It’s not going to happen Game 1, Game 2 — we’re not going to come out, can we come out bright? Yeah, who knows,” Brown told the New York Post. “We’re going to have our ups. We’re going to have our downs. We can’t go too high if it’s going well. We can’t go too low if it’s not.”

“We have to stay composed and know that this is a marathon, not a sprint, at the end of the day.”

It’s clear they’re still figuring things out this early in the season, as they’re currently 4-3. Things could be completely different later in the year, and there’s a good chance they’ll be clicking on all cylinders, especially since this is a group that has played a lot of basketball together.
