Overview

• Karl-Anthony Towns sustained a suspected left hand injury during the Knicks’ 115-93 Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
• Despite the injury, Towns logged 36 minutes and recorded 21 points and 15 rebounds but shot just 5-for-18 from the field, a notable dip in efficiency.
• Broadcast footage captured Towns telling teammates, 'I think I broke it,' though no official diagnosis has been provided by the Knicks.
• The Knicks are closely monitoring Towns’ condition ahead of Game 4, which is scheduled for Monday at Madison Square Garden.
• Towns has battled through injuries before, including a January thumb issue, but his health is now a critical factor in the Knicks’ playoff trajectory.
