Knicks Nation is breathing a sigh of relief when the New York star, Karl-Anthony Towns, returns to the alignment against Los Angeles Lakers Thursday night in the midst of public fears about their health.
The cities lost Tuesday's loss against the Golden State Warriors in Madison Square Garden due to 'personal reasons'. But the public was fearing the worst after his model girlfriend wrote 'F *** Cancer' in X.
It is not clear why Towns lost Tuesday's game, but it is not in the injury report, and according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post and Ian Begley, it will join Thursday in Los Angeles.
“Good news, but I still hope everything is fine,” wrote a fan in X.
Woods lost his own father for cancer in 2017, but Tuesday's cryptic comment on social networks has not yet been explained.
In any case, actor Ben Stiller was among the New York faithful to share his consolations in response to his position.

“Okay,” the Knicks fan wrote, adding several blue and orange heart emojis.
Almost five years have passed since Towns' mother died from Covid-19 complications. Since then, the product of the University of Kentucky has revealed that six other family members died after contracting the virus.
According to reports, he and Woods have been coming out since March 2020.
Tuesday's game was the sixth game that Towns has lost this season. New York has 3-3 in its absence.
After being changed to the Knicks from the Minnesota Timberwolves before the 2024-25 campaign, the 27-year-old cities now average 24.5 points and 13.4 rebounds per game.
In an impulse for the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson is slowly beginning to return to alignment after relieving the court from an ankle injury suffered in May.
Robinson finished with seven points and five rebounds in 15 minutes during Tuesday's defeat against the Warriors.
