Knicks' Towns Sidelined with Knee Injury

Karl-Anthony Towns is sidelined due to right knee tendinitis, missing the New York Knicks' game against the Orlando Magic. He had been a standout player, averaging 25.3 points and 14 rebounds this season, and recently scored 44 points in a game against the Chicago Bulls before the injury. Despite limping off the court, Towns completed a postgame weightlifting session, indicating that the injury may not be serious. Jericho Sims is set to start in his absence, while the Magic face significant injury challenges themselves, missing key players like Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. Towns' next opportunity to play is against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, which will be monitored closely by the team.
