Karl-Anthony Towns Finger Injury Becomes a Minor Concern Ahead of Game 4

Karl-Anthony Towns is ready to go for the Knicks after dealing with an injury to his left ring finger. The Knicks practiced fully on Sunday, and Towns was not listed on the injury report, reassuring fans about his condition. Coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed that Towns is fine and ready to play.

Towns injured his finger during the second quarter of Game 3 against the Boston Celtics but managed to finish the game. He had an impressive performance, scoring 21 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in 36 minutes of play. During the game, he was seen shaking his left hand, but he didn’t share much about the injury afterward, focusing instead on his desire to contribute to the team. “I just want to do whatever I can to be out there,” he said. “I’m gonna keep finding ways to play, so I ain’t tripping.”

Despite his solid performance, Towns has struggled with his three-point shooting in the playoffs. He’s made only one of seven attempts from beyond the arc against the Celtics, a significant drop from his previous series against the Pistons, where he shot 12-for-25. As a team, the Knicks are shooting just 33 percent from three-point range this series, the lowest among all teams in the playoffs, and are attempting fewer threes than any other team.

The Knicks are looking to bounce back after a disappointing Game 3 loss, where they were dominated by the Celtics. Towns’ health is crucial as the team aims to regain momentum in the series. The Knicks need to find their shooting rhythm and capitalize on their opportunities if they hope to compete against the Celtics in the upcoming games.
