Knicks insider rips Tom Thibodeau for ‘reckless’ decision to put injured All-Star center back in the game vs. Celtics

A lot of things went wrong for the New York Knicks on Sunday, and they suffered an injury scare with their All-Star center late in the fourth quarter of their 118-105 loss to the Boston Celtics.

Knicks’ Tom Thibodeau was heavily criticized for putting an injured Karl-Anthony Towns back in a blowout game

After attempting to dunk on Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis, Karl-Anthony Towns was seen limping toward the Knicks’ bench and subsequently went to the locker room after a knee issue took him out of the game in the fourth quarter. Towns emerged from the locker room shortly after and even checked back into the game with less than five minutes left in regulation.
