Towns Returns to Game After Sustaining Gash Above Right Eye

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) exited Wednesday's game against the Nuggets after sustaining a gash above his right eye from a collision with Spencer Jones. He briefly went to the locker room but was given the green light to return to the game. It's unclear if the injury required stitches or was simply a concussion check. While he was initially sidelined, Mitchell Robinson was expected to see increased playing time at center, but Towns' return negates that.
