Towns Questionable for Saturday with Back Spasms; Knicks Not Engaging in Trade Talks

Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to back spasms, potentially sidelining him for the first time since Jan. 2. Over his last 10 appearances, the veteran big man has averaged 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 29.8 minutes. If he misses the game, Mitchell Robinson is expected to start. Despite fan frustration, the New York Knicks are reportedly not engaging in trade discussions for Towns this season, with the front office planning to persevere with him.
