On Monday night, the New York Knicks will play the Orlando Magic (at home) in Manhattan.

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Karl-Anthony Towns is on the injury report.

Towns is averaging 25.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest while shooting 55.0% from the field and 44.0% from the three-point range in 34 games.

Via SNY's Ian Begley on Sunday: "Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for tomorrow’s game vs Orlando due to patellar tendonopathy in his right knee, Knicks say. Towns left Saturday’s double-digit loss to Chicago late in the 4th, presumably due to discomfort in his knee. Miles McBride (hamstring) is questionable."
