Towns Exits with Knee Scare, Returns for Double-Double, Faces Calf Concern

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his 19th double-double of the season, finishing with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 victory over San Antonio. He briefly exited the NBA Cup Championship game in the second quarter due to a left knee scare but was cleared to start the second half. Post-game, Towns appeared to suffer a calf issue, remaining on the bench late in the fourth quarter, adding to weeks of ongoing calf concerns. Fantasy managers should monitor his status.
