Karl-Anthony Towns battles through murky finger injury in Game 3

Karl-Anthony Towns doubled over in pain in the second quarter Saturday, clutching and shaking his left hand after drawing contact while driving to the rim.

The All-Star center remained in the game and ended up logging 36 minutes, but he finished just 5-for-18 from the field in a 115-93 loss to the Celtics at the Garden in Game 3 of the second round.

Still, according to amateur lip readers on social media, it appeared that Towns said later in the game that he believed he “broke” something on the play.
