Knicks fans uncertain despite Towns' return to lineup

deadspin.com — March 6, 2025 at 03:01 PM UTC

Karl-Anthony Towns is set to return to the New York Knicks lineup against the Los Angeles Lakers after missing a game for personal reasons. He has been a key player, averaging 24.5 points and 13.4 rebounds this season. Despite the Knicks holding the NBA's fourth-best record, fans remain skeptical due to recent losses against top teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. The Knicks have struggled in crucial moments, losing all five matchups against these teams this season. Mitchell Robinson is also returning from ankle surgery, adding depth to the Knicks' roster. The team aims to improve its performance as the playoffs approach, with upcoming games against strong Eastern Conference rivals.
