Karl-Anthony Towns out against Orlando

The 29-year-old Towns said following Wednesday’s win over the Jazz that Thibodeau is “a different man” now and more mellow than he was a decade ago with the Timberwolves, before adding, “I like this version going into 2025.” Still, Johnson was on crutches after the victory and in clear discomfort. “You’ve seen him smile. I’ll keep it at that,” Towns said after registering 31 points and 21 rebounds in the Knicks’ ninth straight win ahead of Friday’s game in Oklahoma City. “I think that we all in life, we grow. I’ve grown since the time when we were together in Minnesota. He’s grown. I think that we’re just, in this game of life, we’re just finding ourselves and getting better all the time.” -via New York Post / January 3, 2025
