Banged-up Karl-Anthony Towns may not play for Knicks vs. 76ers

Karl-Anthony Towns practiced Tuesday after leaving Sunday’s game briefly against Boston and said he would see how his knee felt Wednesday before determining whether he’d play against the 76ers at Madison Square Garden.

Towns was listed as questionable on the injury report, while Josh Hart also practiced Tuesday and Tom Thibodeau expected him to be good for Wednesday’s game after missing two straight with a knee injury before returning Sunday.

Towns is averaging 24.8 points and a career-best 13.5 rebounds per game.

Asked if he believed he was having the best season of his career, Towns said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I feel like I’ve had some really, really great seasons. I think the only constant in all that is I continue to put the work in, regardless of what people thought or not. I’ll let the fans decide that.”

As long as he stays healthy, the Knicks should be in good shape — though they haven’t been against three of the top teams in the league, as the Knicks are winless in seven games versus Boston, Cleveland and Oklahoma City.

“We understand we have certain expectations on us and we want to fulfill those and also exceed them,’’ Towns said. “Those teams, we haven’t played the best against this year and we haven’t come out on top. But we stay confident in this locker room, continue to move forward, continue to find ourselves getting better every single day. We’re hoping we can be the best version of ourselves and this team when it’s playoff time and the time is needed.”
