Overview
- Towns has appeared in all three games despite a confirmed Grade 2 right quadriceps strain and is now listed as probable for Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee.
- He has averaged 20.0 points and 14.0 rebounds so far, including 19 points and 11 boards on opening night and 15 points with 18 rebounds against Miami.
- Medical guidance cited in reporting notes a Grade 2 quad strain often needs two to four weeks of rest, with continued play carrying risk of aggravation.
- Mitchell Robinson remains out with a left ankle issue, Guerschon Yabusele is questionable with a left knee sprain, and Miles McBride is out for personal reasons.
- Towns said he played the opener because he did not want to disappoint fans, and the Knicks have continued to manage his workload while frontcourt depth is stretched.
