Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles again Wednesday
Towns ended with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 win over the Bulls.
Towns couldn't hit the 20-point mark for the fourth straight game, but it was still a solid showing overall. The 30-year-old has now finished with a double-double in each of his first five appearances of the 2026-27 campaign, though turnovers have been an issue. Towns did exit the game briefly after suffering a left wrist injury in the first quarter. While he managed to return and finish the contest, there's a chance he'll appear on the injury report ahead of Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Dominant performance Tuesday
Towns finished with 27 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Pistons.
It wasn't a perfect game from Towns, who shot an inefficient 20.0 percent from deep while turning the ball over seven times. However, the 2015 No. 1 overall pick was the top scorer in this contest and finished with at least 20 rebounds for the 23rd time in his career to lead the Knicks to their first win of the 2026-27 campaign.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles with two stocks
Towns recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Magic.
Towns has looked great to open the 2026-27 season, scoring efficiently while racking up three straight double-doubles, but that hasn't translated to wins for the defending champs. The Knicks are 0-3 to begin the year, and they'll have their work cut out for them Tuesday against Detroit.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Turns in big double-double
Towns registered 22 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to Boston.
That's now back-to-back double-doubles to begin the campaign for the star big man, who led the Knicks in scoring. After getting into foul trouble during Tuesday's Opening Night loss to the 76ers, it was encouraging to see Towns be able to stay on the floor more consistently Friday.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Overcomes foul trouble Tuesday
Towns ended with 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks over 24 minutes in Tuesday's 106-100 loss to Philadelphia.
Towns found himself in early foul trouble on Opening Night. As a result, he would finish the first half with just five points in six minutes of work. It was a different story in the second half, with the 30-year-old veteran amassing 14 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. It wasn't a perfect game from Towns, who could be entering his final year as a Knick. Still, he began the year with a double-double, and while he also had issues taking care of the ball, it was a good start to the 2026-27 campaign.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Scores 11 in loss, won't play Tuesday
Towns ended with 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason loss to Minnesota. He won't play Tuesday against Toronto for rest purposes, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Towns was solid, if unspectacular, as New York fell to 0-3 in preseason play. The standout center has played in each of the first three contests but will take a seat for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday at Toronto. Towns' next chance to suit up will come Thursday at home against the Raptors.
