Karl-Anthony Towns moving gingerly on his knee when he walked out of the locker room tonight. Clanked the same knee that had been bothering him for a bit during the fourth quarter. – 11:50 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns is on the ground, holding his knee and slamming the floor. Looks like he’s in a lot of pain. Got clanked on the knee on that drive. – 10:37 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns continues to commit some of the dumbest fouls you could possibly imagine.
He’s an awesome player, but you just can’t take yourself out of the game like this. – 10:20 PM
