New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns is actually skipping the game this time. Towns declined to engage in Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green's verbal warfare against him and the Knicks as they continued to embark on a Western swing.

It was only the seventh game Towns has missed in his first season with the Knicks. However, it seems that he could sit out more in the coming days. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said it remains unknown if the All-Star big man would join them in their five-game road trip, according to a report from the Associated Press.
