Karl-Anthony Towns injury: Knicks star suffers nasty cut in collision

Warriors Steve Kerr reflects on ICE protests in Minnesota
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr reflects on ICE and protests surrounding their presence in Minnesota, especially in comparison to playing games in the NBA.
New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns went to the locker room after he suffered a significant cut in a collision with the Denver Nuggets’ Spencer Jones during the teams’ game on Wednesday night.
The incident at Madison Square Garden occurred late in the first quarter. Towns knocked heads with the defending Jones on a drive, and it opened up a deep gash around Towns’ right eye.
With blood covering his jersey and a bandage placed on his head, Towns made both his free throws before he was subbed out for Mitchell Robinson. The All-Star big man then exited to the locker room, presumably to receive treatment for the cut and perhaps get a new jersey.
Towns was still not back on the court when the bulk of the Knicks’ starters returned midway through the second quarter though he did finally return before the second quarter was through.
He was sporting new bandages above his eye and seemingly a new jersey, the bloodstains no longer visible.
Jones was also impacted by the collision, the Nuggets saying he was questionable to return due to a head contusion.
