Breaking news : Is Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns playing vs. Raptors? Latest injury update
The New York Knicks cooled off last Saturday after suffering an upset 120-111 loss at Madison Square Garden at the hands of the Detroit Pistons. However, star big man Karl-Anthony Towns did not suit up in that contest for New York because of a sore right knee.
New York will be looking to rebound from that loss to Detroit this Monday night when the Knicks visit Scotiabank Arena for their first meeting with the Toronto Raptors in the 2024-25 NBA regular season. Towns could potentially return to action in this contest. So here’s everything we know about Karl-Anthony Towns’ injury and his playing status vs. the Raptors
Towns is available to play against the Raptors, via Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. As is Cameron Payne, who was battling an elbow injury.
Towns’ ability to score efficiently in a number of ways, different points of attack, and nearly anywhere from the floor is a big reason why New York is seventh in the league heading into Monday night with 118.0 points per game. In addition, the Knicks are second overall so far in the 2024-25 NBA regular season with a 58.3 effective field-goal percentage.
The Knicks have a pair of backups ready to step up if Towns needs to miss time in Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa. However, New York is prepared to have their top option in the paint on the floor come tip off.
So when it comes to the question of if Karl-Anthony Towns is playing tonight versus the Raptors, the answer is yes.
