Knicks Win Against 76ers Despite Towns' Absence

Karl-Anthony Towns, who has been pivotal for the New York Knicks during Jalen Brunson's absence, is dealing with left knee soreness and was a game-time scratch for the Knicks' Tuesday game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite Towns' absence, the Knicks secured a 105-91 victory with Mitchell Robinson stepping up impressively, recording 14 points and 14 rebounds. Robinson hasn't played back-to-back games since his return from foot surgery. The Knicks, who are set to play against the Cavaliers next, might face difficulties if Towns isn't fit to play. The team is also missing other key players like Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride, and Cameron Payne due to injuries. The Knicks can clinch at least the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with another win or losses from rivals like Detroit or Milwaukee.
