The New York Knicks and Miami Heat cross swords in an intraconference regular-season game on Sunday. Ahead of the tie, the Knicks' injury report is stacked with as many as four players named on the list. Karl-Anthony Towns is "questionable" with a right quad strain, but OG Anunoby is not listed on the injury report.

Towns played through physical discomfort in the Knicks' first two games of the season. After the opening night game, he publicly admitted to not being 100% healthy but showed commendable character to make himself available and then make a big contribution to the team's cause. In the previous encounter against the Boston Celtics, he scored 26 points and pulled down 13 rebounds.

The Knicks fans received a massive scare in the previous game when OG Anunoby hobbled off the court in the fourth quarter and appeared in visible pain. He didn't return for the remainder of the contest, leaving the Knicks supporters anxious about his health. Anunoby isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game and will suit up against the Heat.

Josh Hart, who grabbed 14 rebounds against the Celtics, is "probable" to play. The veteran guard is dealing with a lingering back issue, which kept him out of the opening night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Deuce McBride is listed as "questionable" due to personal reasons. He suited up in both the previous games. Meanwhile, Mitchell Robinson has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
