Towns' return boosts Knicks' chances against Lakers

nypost.com — March 6, 2025 at 02:01 AM UTC

Karl-Anthony Towns will return to play for the Knicks against the Lakers after missing a game for personal reasons. His absence contributed to a poor offensive performance in a recent loss to the Warriors. The Knicks struggled without Towns, scoring only 21 points in the fourth quarter against Golden State. They have a 3-3 record this season when he does not play. The Lakers, currently on a seven-game winning streak, previously defeated the Knicks last month. Towns' return is expected to boost New York's chances in this matchup.
