Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t recovered from his thumb injury, but he is adjusting to life with it. After hitting just 1-of-10 3-point shots in three games since returning from a bone chip and sprained right thumb, the Knicks big man was 2-for-4 from long range in Monday’s 143-106 win over Memphis at Madison Square Garden.

During a January 13 matchup against the Detroit Pistons, Towns suffered a painful thumb injury after Cade Cunningham swiped at the ball on a drive, forcing his finger to bend awkwardly. Though he stayed in the game, the discomfort was immediately visible, sparking concern among Knicks fans.
