New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns limped to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s matinee against the Boston Celtics. Towns appeared to suffer a knee injury on a missed dunk attempt.

Towns was trying to lead a big Knicks comeback. New York trailed by as many as 27 points in the third quarter in Boston, only to trim the deficit to four points early in the fourth quarter on a KAT triple. But he left the game with 8:28 remaining, and the Celtics promptly pulled away again.
For some reason, Towns returned to the game with the Knicks down 18 points with just over four minutes to play. The Knicks star was obviously still hobbled, but Tom Thibodeau couldn’t help himself and played the big man for the rest of the game. There was zero threat of a comeback attempt as Boston earned a 118-105 win to give New York an 0-7 record against the top three teams (Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Boston Celtics) in the NBA this season.
