NEW YORK (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns missed his second straight game because of a sprained right thumb, sitting out against his former team when the New York Knicks hosted Minnesota on Friday night.

The discussion around Julius Randle and his future remains a fascinating one with the NBA's Feb. 6 trade deadline just over a week away. The majority of Minnesota Timberwolves fans want to see Randle moved before the deadline.
