The New York Knicks will already be without Mitchell Robinson(load management) and Josh Hart (lumbar spasms) for the season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they could be out a third key piece as well.

Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for the season opener with a quad injury

All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns is currently listed as questionable with a quad injury. The big man sat out the final preseason game with the injury as a precaution, but now it could cost him the season-opening game against New York’s next biggest threat in the East.

If Towns is unable to suit up, expect either Ariel Hukporti or Guerschon Yabusele to take his place in the starting five. With the Knicks being down a few players, they will need the others to come in and step up.
