Knicks Announce Karl-Anthony Towns' Final Playing Status For Tonight's Game vs Atlanta
The Hawks are hoping to start 2026 off with a win and they are facing an opponent they faced not even a week ago. Atlanta will face the Knicks tonight, though it won't be at State Farm Arena, it will be at Madison Square Garden.
Atlanta is looking to make this matchup different than the one played six days ago. While Atlanta almost overcame an 18 point deficit to beat New York, they trailed for a large portion of that game.
Heading into this game, the only Hawk on the injury report was star point guard Trae Young, who had missed the last two games with a right quad contusion. After being listed as questionable for tonight's game vs New York, the Hawks have ruled Trae Young out for tonight's game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker should be in line for another start.

Karl-Anthony Towns Injury: Questionable for Friday
Towns was a very late addition to the injury report and is in jeopardy of missing the front end of this back-to-back set. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is also questionable, so the Knicks could need players such as Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele to step up in the frontcourt.
