Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out for Friday Against Pacers

Karl-Anthony Towns has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Pacers due to knee soreness. After being downgraded from questionable to doubtful, he was officially sidelined. Towns, who averages 11.9 rebounds per game, has been a strong interior presence recently, averaging 13.0 rebounds over his last eight games. Mitchell Robinson is expected to enter the starting lineup at center in his absence.
