Karl-Anthony Towns Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (quadriceps) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. 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.
