New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) will play Friday against the Nets after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Towns continues to play at a high level, averaging 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers across his last five games in 32.4 minutes. He remains a strong source of scoring and rebounding while providing out-of-position assists. Mitchell Robinson should continue handling a smaller supporting role off the bench. Towns remains locked into lineups as a clear must-start during the fantasy playoffs.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will rejoin the lineup on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. He didn't play in Friday's matchup with Indiana due to knee soreness, but the Knicks haven't listed him on the injury report for Sunday's game. Mitchell Robinson made a massive impact as a starter on Friday night, finishing with 12 points, 22 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. He will return to a reserve role on Sunday, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to repeat his effort from Friday's game. In the teams' earlier meeting this season, Towns racked up 17 points and 20 boards, and with the Warriors set to play without Draymond Green (back), Al Horford (calf), and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), he might be in for another dominant outing.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report, but will ultimately sit out due to knee soreness. His next chance to play will come on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. In his absence, Mitchell Robinson is expected to move into the starting center spot. Robinson should be a strong streaming option while Towns is out. Ariel Hukporti could also see more involvement, but Robinson is the best streaming choice here.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The six-time All-Star has landed on the injury report with bilateral knee soreness. If Towns sits out the action, the Knicks are expected to promote Mitchell Robinson to the starting lineup. While moving into the first unit would boost Robinson's fantasy appeal, he has averaged only 3.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 19.1 minutes as a starter this season. Ariel Hukporti's role would also increase if Towns doesn't play.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns, joined by former Knick Allan Houston, won the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday, outscoring Team Cameron in the final round. The Knicks trio closed with 47 points after posting 31 in the opener to advance. While the exhibition carries no fantasy weight, both stars enter the second half in strong form. Brunson is averaging 26.6 points, 3.0 threes, 4.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes over his last five games, while Towns has posted 19.4 points and 12.4 rebounds in 28.8 minutes. Their usage keeps Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart in complementary roles.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) won't play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. Due to a right eye laceration, the Knicks listed Toews as questionable on the initial injury report. He was downgraded to doubtful earlier on Friday and has now been ruled out. His absence will likely give Mitchell Robinson the starting center role, while Ariel Hukporti will get a chance to log extended minutes off the bench. Whether Robinson starts or not, his stats have stayed about the same throughout the season. Towns' first chance to return will be on Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is questionable for Friday's encounter with the Pistons. KAT suffered a laceration above his right eye during the double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. It forced him to briefly exit the contest, although he still finished with a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double. Considering the 30-year-old played through the injury on Wednesday, it would be surpising if he didn't suit up. However, if Towns isn't out there, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 3.7 points, 8.4 boards, and 1.1 blocks in 13 starts, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. While those aren't the most impressive statistical marks, Robinson could be more productive if Josh Hart (ankle) and OG Anunoby (toe) don't play.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) will play on Saturday against Philadelphia. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks, his third absence of the 2025 campaign. Fortunately, that trend won't continue. As usual, KAT is a must-start in all fantasy setups. Ariel Hukporti, who had eight points, 16 rebounds, and four blocks on Friday, will head back to the bench behind Mitchell Robinson (ankle), who is also available. As a result, Hukporti shouldn't be anywhere near a fantasy lineup.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) won't suit up on Friday against Atlanta. The Knicks also won't have Mitchell Robinson (ankle), meaning the team will be extremely thin at the five. New York will play again on Saturday versus the visiting 76ers. Hopefully, KAT will feel better by then. In the meantime, Ariel Hukporti is expected to take his place in the rotation, with the 23-year-old averaging two points, four boards, and one block in three starts throughout the 2025 campaign.

New York Knicks forwards Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Josh Hart (abdomen) will play Friday night when the team hosts the Philadelphia 76ers. Towns, Hart, and Mitchell Robinson all missed Thursday night's win over Indiana, following New York's NBA Cup championship. Expect the Knicks to return to the five-man starting lineup of Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, Hart, and Towns.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play in Thursday's game in Indiana. KAT, who had a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double in Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the San Antonio Spurs, will miss his second contest of the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, so there's a chance he may be back on the floor on Friday night against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also out, Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti will presumably split time in the middle for the meeting with a Pacers team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball this season.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) may take a night off after winning the NBA Cup, as he has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The big man is on the injury report with a sore left knee. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is also listed as questionable, meaning Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele may have to carry the frontcourt in a favorable matchup. This is a pace-up spot for the Knicks against a weak defense. The Pacers have especially struggled to contain centers, giving up the eighth-most fantasy points to the position this season.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will play on Tuesday against Toronto. KAT wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Orlando Magic, marking his first absence of the 2025 campaign. Despite appearing on the injury report and carrying a questionable designation, he'll be back on the floor for the NBA Cup meeting. In Towns' only game versus the Raptors this season, he amassed 22 points and eight rebounds while shooting 25.0% from behind the arc. Of course, fantasy managers are hoping that was an isolated incident. With Towns back in the lineup, Mitchell Robinson, coming off a six-point, 13-rebound, one-block effort, will presumably head to the bench.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is considered questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Toronto Raptors. The big man is dealing with tightness in his left calf. Towns practiced on Monday, which is a good sign that he might be ready to return from a one-game absence. Assuming Towns remains out, the Knicks will lean on Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti at the center position. Robinson returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds in 25 minutes. He also contributed well on the defensive end. Hukporti had six points, seven rebounds, and three blocks off the bench in 23 minutes.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) won't play on Sunday against Orlando. Despite making sporadic appearances on the injury report, KAT hasn't missed a game. However, he experienced left calf tightness during the meeting with the Utah Jazz on Friday night, so the team will keep him out. Towns next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday, when the Knicks face the Toronto Raptors in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 4.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in nine starts, is the favorite to replace Towns in the rotation.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (quadriceps) will play in Friday's NBA Cup matchup against the Chicago Bulls, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. Towns was initially listed as probable on the injury report. On Friday, Towns will aim to produce a bounce-back performance after he was limited to just eight points by the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Last season, Towns cooked the Bulls, averaging 40.7 points and 14.7 rebounds against them in three meetings.

The star big man is battling a right quadriceps strain. While the ailment hasn't kept Towns off the floor, he has struggled with his performance. On Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Towns had his lowest-scoring game as a Knick, finishing with eight points on 2-for-12 shooting. Overall, he has shot just 35.2 percent from the field, including 33.3 percent from three-point range this season.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (quadriceps) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Towns is battling a right quadriceps strain but is prepared to play through the injury. Despite the issue, Towns has averaged 33.3 minutes per game this season, and there's no indication his workload will be limited against the Bucks. While Towns has notched three straight double-doubles, averaging 20.0 points and 14.0 rebounds, he's had some shooting difficulties, sinking only 40.5 percent of his attempts from the field.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (quad) looks on track to play on Tuesday night against the Bucks in Milwaukee, after being upgraded to probable on Tuesday afternoon. KAT was again listed as questionable coming into the day due to a right quadriceps strain. He has not missed a game yet this season with the issue, and he's averaging 20.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in his 33 minutes per game. He had a nice 15-point, 18-rebound double-double on Sunday in his most recent game, which was against the Heat. On Tuesday, it looks like he'll be able to play through the injury again, but he'll be in a tough matchup against the strong frontcourt defense of the Bucks.

The season has only just begun, but Towns has become a regular on the injury report due to a quadriceps injury. Fortunately, he hasn't missed any games so far, which may indicate that Towns is prepared to play through the injury against Giannis Antetokounmpo's crew. Towns has struggled with his shooting early in the season, but he's still averaged 20.0 points per game with 14.0 rebounds. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains out of action on Tuesday, meaning Ariel Hukporti and Trey Jemison III will have a larger workload if Towns can't play.
