New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns has been exceptional in his first year with the team, averaging 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds en route to All-NBA Third Team honors.

Karl-Anthony Towns didn't let a prior injury get in the way of his quest to extend the New York Knicks' season.

The injury occurred with time winding down in the fourth quarter Tuesday, when Towns banged knees with Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith. Towns immediately grabbed his knee, and remained down on the court in obvious pain. Despite the injury, Towns was able to re-enter and finish the game, but he was hobbled the rest of the way.
