Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns appears to avoid serious injury after late-game exit
NY Post
CHICAGO — Karl-Anthony Towns was hurt toward the end of Saturday’s loss to the Bulls and limped to the locker room.
But the center felt good enough to go through an exhaustive postgame weightlifting session and seemed to avoid anything serious as tests weren’t deemed necessary.
“I’m sweating,” he said when asked how he’s feeling. “I’m exhausted.”
Towns fell to the court after converting an and-1 with about 96 seconds remaining in the Knicks’ 139-126 loss.
He was sandwiched between Bulls defenders Coby White and Nikola Vucevic on the play, then subbed out immediately after the free throw gave him a game-high 44 points.
Towns declined to reveal the source of the pain — “it’s somewhere” — or his level of optimism for playing Monday against the Magic — “I take every day as day-by-day regardless” — but he explained the play in entertaining detail.
