Karl-Anthony Towns

Daniss Jenkins scored 18 points in his last game as a two-way player and the Detroit Pistons routed New York 118-80 on Friday night to end the Knicks winning streak at eight games. The Pistons must convert his deal to a full NBA contract to keep him. Jalen Duren (knee) missed the game for Detroit while the Knicks played without Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) and OG Anunoby (toe).

The latest injury news and possible return dates for New York Knicks players...

If the Knicks want to extend their win streak to nine games, it'll have to be done without Towns. The All-Star center will be sidelined on Friday, leaving Mitchell Robinson as the likely candidate to fill in for Towns in the starting lineup. Robinson doesn't offer the same upside but could be on double-double watch.

Towns (eye) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Jones will join several of his teammates on the sideline on Saturday in what's been an injury-plagued season for the Nuggets. His injury came in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Knicks after clashing heads with Karl-Anthony Towns. Jones is now in the league's concussion protocol and won't be available for the time being.
