Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable for Timberwolves Game Due to Thumb Injury

The All-Star center is dealing with a sprained thumb and bone chip, leaving his status uncertain for Friday's matchup against his former team.

Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after sustaining a sprained right thumb and bone chip earlier this week.
Towns suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Detroit Pistons but played through the pain, finishing with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
The Knicks managed an overtime win against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday without Towns, with Jalen Brunson scoring 38 points and Josh Hart recording a triple-double.
New York acquired Towns in a trade with Minnesota in October, and he has been a key contributor this season, averaging 25.4 points and a league-leading 13.9 rebounds per game.
Minnesota's Donte DiVincenzo, also involved in the trade, has been ruled out for Friday's game due to a toe injury, while the Timberwolves remain in a tight playoff race in the Western Conference.
