The New York Knicks received a frightening sight during a clash against the Los Angeles Clippers when star center Karl-Anthony Towns began visibly favoring his right knee.
As per Steve Popper of Newsday Sports: "After coming up short on a pair of drives, KAT was limping and grabbing at his right knee. Now he just finished a drive and immediately went to the knee again and slowly hobbled off for a timeout."
Despite the alarming scene, Towns was back on the court after a break. However, the concern did not disappear. At halftime, Towns was still visibly limping, raising serious questions about whether he can continue to play at full capacity in the second half.
Through the first half, Towns had been dominant before the injury cloud emerged, putting up 21 points on a wonderful 8-of-10 shooting, including 2-of-2 from three, along with four rebounds in just 18 minutes. The Knicks trail the Clippers 55-64 at the half.
