The New York Knicks are now just one win away from advancing to the next round, holding a 3-2 lead in their first-round playoff series against the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks are locked in and determined to close out the series in Game 6. All eyes are now on Karl-Anthony Towns as fans eagerly await his status ahead of the crucial matchup.
Game 6 is set for Thursday in Detroit. The Knicks recently released their injury report for the game. Karl-Anthony Towns is not listed for the upcoming game. What’s more, the Knicks submitted a completely clean injury report to the league.
Despite missing the final two regular season games due to a knee injury, Towns has appeared in every playoff game thus far. Over the five-game series, he has averaged 21.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 6.0 blocks per game.
Their most recent outing ended in a 103-106 loss last Thursday. However, Towns delivered a solid performance with a double-double. He wrapped up the game with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist.
