Karl-Anthony Towns Vaguely Addresses Possible Hand Injury After Knicks' Game 3 Loss

Karl-Anthony Towns talks to reporters after the Knicks' Game 3 loss to the Celtics | Screengrab via SNY TV / @sny_knicks on X/Twitter

New York Knicks star big man Karl-Anthony Towns appeared to sustain an injury to his left hand in the Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics Saturday. The ESPN broadcast caught Towns appearing to say "I broke it" while pointing to a finger in his left hand, but he didn't seem concerned after the game.

Towns got tangled up with Boston big man Luke Kornet early in the game, grabbing his hand after pulling down a rebound and passing the ball to teammate Josh Hart. He stayed in the game and played 36 minutes during the Knicks' 115-93 loss Saturday, which trimmed their series lead to 2-1 over Boston. When asked about the injury postgame, Towns downplayed it, saying he won't let it impact his availability as the series progresses.
