Gilbert Arenas makes an interesting comparison while reviewing Karl-Anthony Towns' performance in Game 3 (Image Credit: Getty Images) Karl-Anthony Towns faces uncertainty for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals after suffering a left knee contusion in Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers. The injury occurred during a collision with Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith, forcing Towns to briefly leave the game before returning to finish the contest. The Knicks have officially listed their star forward as questionable for Thursday's elimination game at Madison Square Garden. Head coach Tom Thibodeau called Towns' return to Game 4 a "good sign" but confirmed the team will evaluate his condition during shootaround and pregame warmups before making a final decision. Karl-Anthony Towns' Evaluation timeline and injury concerns The left knee injury carries extra significance as it's the same knee Karl-Anthony Towns had surgery on earlier this season to repair a torn meniscus. Medical staff will monitor several factors before clearing him to play: - Pain tolerance during lateral movements - Swelling management after treatment - Explosiveness in jumping and cutting drills - Stability during contact simulations The evaluation process will follow this schedule: Time Evaluation Stage Decision Point Morning Shootaround participation Initial mobility assessment Afternoon Treatment progress Swelling check Pregame Warmup intensity Final clearance Karl-Anthony Towns' Expected availability and team impact Despite the questionable designation, multiple reports indicate Towns will likely suit up for this must-win game. The Knicks' probable starting lineup includes Towns, showing organizational confidence in his availability. His potential absence would create significant challenges: - Julius Randle would shoulder more offensive responsibility - Bench players like Obi Toppin would see expanded minutes - The team would lose their second-leading scorer (25.8 ppg in series) - Rebounding would suffer without his 11.5 per game average Towns' recent performance in the series The three-time All-Star has been instrumental in keeping the Knicks competitive against the Pacers: - Scored 24 points with 12 rebounds in Game 4 after injury - Exploded for 20 fourth-quarter points in Game 3 comeback - Shooting 48% from field and 42% from three-point range - Playing 39.2 minutes per game in conference finals What to watch for in Knicks vs Pacers Game 5 (May 29, 2025) Fans and analysts should monitor these key indicators during pregame and early game action: - Early substitution patterns for Towns - Defensive mobility against Pacers guards - Willingness to absorb contact in paint - Jump shot consistency from perimeter The Knicks enter Game 5 trailing 3-1 in the series, making Towns' potential participation critical to their hopes of forcing a Game 6 back in Indiana. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trova Auto Usate Di Qualità A Prezzi Competitivi.

Gilbert Arenas makes an interesting comparison while reviewing Karl-Anthony Towns' performance in Game 3 (Image Credit: Getty Images) Gilbert Arenas gave an honest review of Karl-Anthony Towns' performance in Game 3.

However, he went on to appreciate Town's performance in the fourth quarter, where he scored 20 points.

He candidly compared his slow performance at the start of the game to a movie. Talking about Town's start in Game 3, he said: 'Um, first three quarters, I mean, or since game two, he was playing like literally puss and boots. Puss and Boots. Have you ever seen the movie Puss and Boots? And he had one life left and he was scared to do anything. that's how he's been playing uh since game two.' KAT's INSANE Game Turns Gil BACK Into A Knicks Fan Game 3 coincided with Dominican Mother's Day. Keeping the occasion in mind, Gilbert was asked, 'How impressive was Cat's 20-point fourth quarter on Dominican Mother's Day?' In response to this question, Gilbert made the Puss and Boots comparison and gave an interesting twist to the whole conversation. NBA veteran Gilbert Arenas appreciated Karl-Anthony Towns' comeback in fourth quarter of Game 3 Gilbert Arenas quickly segued the conversation to the section of the game where Karl-Anthony Towns took control of the game. Speaking of his performance in the fourth quarter, he said: 'But, you know, I'm going to give him his credit that he showed up in the fourth quarter. He did what he's supposed to do against the players that's guarding him, right? As slowoot as you are, they can't keep up with you. And I I don't understand why you sit here and take these these far ass three-pointers randomly for no reason because you're open when you can drive the whole time.' Karl-Anthony Towns GOES OFF for 20 POINTS in 4th QTR to win Game 3 vs Pacers Elaborating further, he said: 'So, the fact that in the fourth quarter you started driving, taking these guys off the dribble, realizing that's your advantage, kind of makes me feel [Music] like this series would have been over if you wouldn't have did that [ __ ] in game one, right? Chucking those threes at the 8-minute mark. Could have just been driving, taking these guys to the hole.' Uh, game two is whatever, game two. But game three, it's like you you had four four points in the first three quarter. Just shows, man, like when you're not engaged, dude, you're not engaged. Like when you're really just out there floating, you're you're no use to the team, you know? So like you can see that this is these guys can't stay in front of you. You game four, this is how you finish the the the uh the fourth quarter. That's how you're supposed to be starting this the next game and every quarter after that.'

Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday's Knicks vs. Pacers game 'New York needed a 36-20 fourth quarter to pull out the victory in Indiana, and I believe that momentum can spill over into Game 4. Going back to MSG tied at 2-2 is very possible and what I will be rooting for. If the Knicks' starters can avoid foul trouble, this should be a one to two possession game, so I'll take the +2.5. Jalen Brunson is 2-1 to the Over on his points prop in this series after going Under last game with 23 points as KAT went off for 20 fourth-quarter points. Game 4 is pivotal and I doubt he stays Under 25 points for back-to-back games in this series or Under 30 for that matter. The volume will be there, so I will continue to grab Brunson 30-plus points each game in this series.' Please bet responsibly.
