New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a left calf contusion.
The potential absence of Towns, who is having an All-NBA caliber season, would significantly impact the Knicks’ lineup against a strong opponent.
Towns has been a standout for the Knicks this season, averaging 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. His sharpshooting has reached a career-high level, with the big man connecting on 45.8% of his three-point attempts.
The Knicks, currently fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 9-7 record, have relied heavily on Towns’ ability to stretch the floor and dominate the paint. Without him, they may struggle against Denver’s reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, who anchors the Nuggets’ offense.
Denver holds a 9-6 record and sits sixth in the Western Conference. Jokic is averaging 30.3 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 11.3 assists assists per game, making him a formidable challenge for any opponent.
