Karl-Anthony Towns was injured at Knicks-Hawks

Towns has missed the Knicks’ last two games after injuring his thumb during a Jan. 13 loss to the Detroit Pistons. The star center was a nuisance against Detroit, finishing with 26 points and 12 rebounds on 7-of-17 shooting from the field, 4-of-9 from three and 8-of-10 from the free throw line. He declined to say whether he underwent X-rays after the loss.

New York listed Towns as questionable for his last two games before turning it off. This time, Towns will try. The four-time All-Star was among the best players in the NBA this season, averaging 25.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game on 55/45/84 shooting.

Hart injured his neck while taking a hard fall during the third quarter of Friday’s 116-99 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran wing went to the locker room but quickly returned, finishing the game with 12 points, nine rebounds and three steals on 3-of-12 shooting from the field and 1-of-5 from three.

While Hart’s injury initially appeared to be to his shoulder, the Knicks officially listed it as neck/cervical compression. Like Towns, Hart is available for Monday’s game. The 29-year-old averaged 14.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals on 56/36/81 shooting while missing just one game this season.

Hart and Towns participated in practice on Sundayaccording to head coach Tom Thibodeau.

“They went through the drill, and we’ll see where they are tomorrow.” They were fine,” Thibodeau told Stephane Bondi of the New York Post.

Jalen Brunson said both of his teammates “looked fantastic.”

After a nine-game winning streak, New York has come back down to earth as it enters a more challenging stretch of its schedule. The Knicks have lost six of their last nine games. They rank 12th in offense, 27th in defense and 21st in net rating (-3.1) during that span.

Atlanta, meanwhile, enters Monday’s game on a three-game winning streak. The Hawks secured their most impressive win of the season on Saturday, beating the Boston Celtics 119-115 in overtime at TD Garden.

Trae Young (right Achilles tendonitis) and Jaylen Johnson (right shoulder inflammation) are available for this Knicks matchup. Zacharie Risacher will miss the game with a left adductor strain.
