Towns was a late scratch for the Knicks against the Hawks due to illness.
The New York Knicks will significantly miss the presence of Karl-Anthony Towns on their Friday home game.
The Knicks revealed on their injury report that the star big man won't be suiting up against the Atlanta Hawks due to illness.
Towns has been marked questionable to play earlier, but it appears that he remains unwell and incapable to contribute for New York.
With Towns inactive as well as Mitchell Robinson (ankle), the Knicks will lean more toward Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele in handling the team's interior presence.
Towns is averaging 21.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 31 games, aiding the Knicks to a strong 23-10 regular season run so far this 2025-26.
