Karl-Anthony Towns suffered an apparent wrist injury in the New York Knicks' matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Oct. 28.
In the first quarter, Jalen Brunson brought the ball down the court for the defending champions. He passed the ball to Towns, who was just inside the arc. Noa Essengue was guarding Brunson and chased him around the perimeter, running into Towns and knocking Towns down. Towns laid on the hardwood for a small amount of time and writhed in pain.
