The New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable to play against his former team Minnesota Timberwolves, on Wednesday. According to the team's injury report, Town's status was updated under illness.

According to the RotoWire staff, the Knicks' big man had been under the weather since waking up.

"Towns was added to the injury report overnight, presumably after waking up under the weather. There's a good chance he warms up before a decision is made on his status, as it will take a lot to keep Towns out of the lineup."
