Towns Out! Knicks Host Bulls Amidst Injury Woes
4 Apr
Summary
- Karl-Anthony Towns is out with an elbow impingement.
- New York won their last game against Memphis Grizzlies.
- The Knicks will host the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
The New York Knicks are preparing to face the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. This matchup comes shortly after a decisive 130-119 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies earlier in the week. During that win, OG Anunoby led the team with 25 points and 13 rebounds, supported by Mikal Bridges' 24 points.
However, the Knicks will be without Karl-Anthony Towns for Friday's game against the Bulls. The 30-year-old has been sidelined due to an impingement in his right elbow, which is his sixth absence this season. Towns has been a reliable performer, averaging 20.1 points and 11.9 rebounds per game.
Head coach Mike Brown will need to adjust his lineup to compensate for Towns' absence in the frontcourt. Mitchell Robinson, who averages 5.4 points and 8.7 rebounds, is anticipated to fill the starting role. The game is scheduled for Friday night, with tip-off at 7:30 p.m. EST.
