Fri Jan 10 | 16:28 | Karl-Anthony Towns Tagged As Questionable Friday |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has drawn a questionable status on Friday for their matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Knicks will likely need all hands on deck to beat the Western Conference-leading Thunder despite Chet Holmgren (hip) being out. Towns was able to play against the Raptors on Wednesday and posted a stat line of 27 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks. If he's downgraded, Jericho Sims would move into the starting five while Precious Achiuwa would get some more minutes off of the bench. Achiuwa is the more consistent producer for fantasy managers looking for a streamer in that case. |

Wed Jan 8 | 19:05 | Karl-Anthony Towns To Play On Wednesday |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The superstar center is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to right knee tendinitis. There is no word of Towns being limited after a one-game absence, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his full workload. Jericho Sims played 29 minutes on Monday, so he's expected to fall in the rotation with Towns available. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Towns back in their lineups ahead of tip-off. |

Mon Jan 6 | 19:16 | Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Monday |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (hamstring) won't play in Monday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. KAT injured his hamstring during Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls and was considered questionable heading into this one. However, he won't be out there against the short-handed Magic, so his next chance to play will be on Wednesday versus Toronto. Fortunately, Jalen Brunson (calf) is cleared to suit up, so he'll pick up some additional scoring chances. The same should apply for Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby, with Precious Achiuwa in line for a significant bump in fantasy production. |

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable heading into Monday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Fantasy managers had a feeling this was coming, although it was reported that his current ailment isn't anything serious. Of course, the Knicks will be cautious with Towns, especially since he's having a stellar 2024-25 campaign, averaging 25.3 points and a career-high 14.0 rebounds while shooting an impressive 44.0% from behind the arc. If he doesn't suit up against Orlando, Jalen Brunson (calf), who is probable, should see an uptick in scoring opportunities. Precious Achiuwa may also enter the starting lineup and would immediately warrant streaming consideration in all fantasy formats. |

Towns had 44 points, 16 rebounds, and five assists in 37 minutes before hobbling to the locker room with a possible leg injury in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter.

But if Towns suffers an unforeseen setback, Precious Achiuwa, coming off a seven-point, six-board, two-block effort, could work his way into the starting lineup. |

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors while he deals with patellar tendinopathy in his right knee. Towns has been an integral part of the Knicks' success so far this season and he's only missed two games this year. He currently averages 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 threes per game.

Sat Dec 7 2024 | 19:16 | Karl-Anthony Towns Misses Saturday's Game |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. He's dealing with a knee issue and is missing only his second game of the season. It's been a superb debut campaign for Towns in New York, and it will be difficult to replace him. Jericho Sims will start in his absence, while Precious Achiuwa and Ariel Hukporti should fill some of the minutes at the five position as well. Sims' only previous start this season resulted in a four-point, seven-rebound effort in 18 minutes. |

Sat Dec 7 2024 | 13:17 | Karl-Anthony Towns Could Miss Saturday's Game |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pistons. KAT has had an amazing first season with the Knicks, averaging 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and shooting 45.0% from deep. He's battling a knee issue, so if doesn't play versus Detroit, Precious Achiuwa, who made his 2024-25 campaign debut in Thursday's win over the Hornets, could enter the starting lineup. However, Achiuwa likely won't see much more than the 12 minutes he logged on Thursday night, meaning Jericho Sims may get more action, although not enough to justify his presence in fantasy lineups. |

The 29-year-old has only missed one game this season and is shooting 45.8% from three. Fantasy managers need to ensure Towns is in their starting lineups as he should be expected to have a good game against a familiar opponent from his time in Minnesota. Expect high production from KAT yet again on Monday night. |

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) might have to sit out his second game of the season on Monday versus Denver. He has landed on the injury report with a left calf contusion and is sporting a questionable tag. Towns has looked excellent with the Knicks, averaging 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds, and it would be fun to watch him in his current form going up against Nikola Jokic. However, it seems we may have to settle for watching Jericho Sims and Ariel Hukporti battle against the reigning MVP. Additionally, Towns' absence would provide a usage boost for the rest of the first unit. |

Sun Nov 17 2024 | 18:40 | Karl-Anthony Towns Back In Action Sunday |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Sunday. A knee contusion kept him off the floor against the Nets on Friday, but Towns makes a quick return. The Knicks' new star center had 46 points against Chicago in his last outing and has hit the 30-point mark four times in his most recent five appearances. He's in a great position to do a lot of damage again on Sunday, as Brooklyn is missing Nicolas Claxton (back) and hasn't done very well defensively against opposing centers. Jericho Sims lands back on the bench with Towns' return. |

Sat Nov 16 2024 | 19:18 | Karl-Anthony Towns Uncertain For Sundayâs Game |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 29-year-old All-Star is dealing with a left knee contusion that sidelined him in Friday's win, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return. Towns has been a key contributor this season, posting impressive averages of 26.5 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. In his last outing, he erupted for 46 points and 10 rebounds against the Chicago Bulls. Should Towns remain out, Jericho Sims could once again see extended minutes in the starting lineup. |

Fri Nov 15 2024 | 12:00 | Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable On Friday Versus Nets |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has received a questionable tag for their Friday night matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The former Minnesota Timberwolf has put up some fantastic offensive performances since joining the Knicks, and if he plays in this New York rivalry, he'll be primed for another big night against a weaker Nets frontcourt. On the other hand, if he doesn't suit up, the Knicks frontcourt is already thin, so Jericho Sims would see big minutes and join the starting five. |

Fri Nov 1 2024 | 19:00 | Karl-Anthony Towns Available On Friday |
New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns is available and starting for the Knicks on Friday in their matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Towns was originally listed as questionable with a wrist injury but will be able to play through the pain. The 28-year-old will have a tough matchup against the Pistons who have been strong defensively against forwards. Towns has been sporadic in his offensive production so far, posting up point totals of 12, 21, 13 and 44 on the season. He's providing much more consistency from a rebounding perspective, averaging 11.3 RPG. Fantasy managers will certainly still want him in their starting lineups no matter what. DFS managers may want to take caution with adding him in their lineups given the volatility of tonight's matchup. |

Thu Oct 31 2024 | 22:31 | Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Versus The Pistons |
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. KAT was decent in his first three games as a Knick. Yet, he came to life in Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat, ending the night with 44 points and 13 rebounds while going 4-for-5 from behind the arc. The Knicks are thin as it is underneath the basket, so the team can't afford any more absences. If Towns can't get on the floor, Jericho Sims and Ariel Hukporti could split time underneath the rim, although neither player is worth adding to any redraft roster. |

Sun Oct 6 2024 | 15:01 | Karl-Anthony Towns Plans To Play On Sunday |
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is expected to suit up for the preseason opener on Sunday. Towns was traded to the Knicks in the end of September and is likely to make his team debut here. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said he plans on playing his starters, but didn't say how long they'd play. It's unlikely he pushes his starter too hard in an exhibition game, but at least Knicks fans will get to see their first taste of Towns. |
