What happened
Karl-Anthony Towns appeared to injure his wrist during Wednesday’s Knicks-Bulls game after contact with Noa Essengue sent him to the floor. He stayed down briefly before heading to the locker room, according to ESPN.
The incident came in the first quarter after Jalen Brunson fed Towns near the arc, and New York was leading 34-33 when the opening period ended. The article said it will be updated when more information becomes available.
If Towns cannot return, New York may need to reshuffle its frontcourt and increase minutes for its backup bigs until his status is updated.
