Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas, MD, from NYU Langone's Sports Medicine Center, joins Brandon London for the weekly 'Injury Report' segment to explain the 'jumper's knee' injury that sidelined Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns during New York's Monday night loss to the Orlando Magic and whether there could be long-term ramifications.
Karl-Anthony Towns played it coy when pressed about the injury to his shooting thumb, repeating four times in the postgame locker room, “It is what it is,” with his hand tucked in his pocket. Still, Towns was clearly bothered for much of Monday’s loss to the Pistons after banging his hand in the opening half on the backboard during a drive.
He declined to reveal whether there was an X-ray and coach Tom Thibodeau gave his usual non-update of “I haven’t talked to medical yet.” “They hit shots when they had to,” Towns said about the Pistons. “We could sit here and talk about all the things we could’ve done. We just didn’t do it. Cost us in the end.” For the second time this season, Thibodeau called out the Knicks for arguing with the referees and failing to defend because of it.
“You can’t complain if you feel like they missed a call. If you jog back and you’re talking to an official, it could be three points ,” Thibodeau said, adding, “It’s a long season. No one’s perfect. The officials, it’s a tough job. Very tough. There’s emotion in the game, there’s frustration, but you also have to understand the pace that the game’s being played at. You can’t afford to complain. You can make a point on a dead ball to an official.
