The New York Knicks won't feel the presence of Karl-Anthony Towns on the court.
Ahead of their Friday road matchup in Indiana against the Pacers, the Knicks have announced that Towns (knee) will not play.
The star big man was initially listed as questionable due to knee soreness. But the Knicks will let him take a break as they will face the NBA-worst Pacers.
Mitchell Robinson is set to earn the starting gig with Towns out.
In 63 games, Towns is averaging 20.0 points in nearly 50 percent shooting with 11.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
