        The Knicks fans were in for a surprise when Karl-Anthony Towns, a key player, didn't show up for a game against the Warriors. The reason? A personal matter. The team's coach, Tom Thibodeau, was tight-lipped about it, leaving everyone guessing. This is when things took an unexpected turn. Jordyn Woods, Towns' girlfriend, tweeted, "Fuck cancer. " The internet went wild with speculation. Was it Towns? A family member? Nobody knew for sure.

        The Lakers' new star, Luka Doncic, had heard the rumors. He mentioned that players often return to the court just in time to face the Lakers. This was a dig at Towns, who had missed the previous game and was expected to be back for the Lakers match. This comment didn't sit well with the Knicks fans. They felt that the Lakers fanbase was being insensitive to Towns' personal situation.

        A Lakers fan had a similar observation. They pointed out that Towns missed the game against the Warriors but was ready to play against the Lakers. This didn't sit well with the Knicks fans, who quickly gathered in the comment section to defend their guy by attacking the LA fan.

        The Knicks fanbase had grown attached to Karl-Anthony Towns since his trade to their franchise this season. And in a sensitive time like this, their support was only to be expected. The Lakers fan in his post made it seem like the coach confirmed the 7-footer center wouldn’t be suiting up, but what Thibodeau actually said was, “I just don’t know, so when he’s ready to come back, obviously we want him back. But he needs some time right now. ” Thibs was clarifying there was something personal that Towns was dealing with which needed some time. The Knicks fan further lashed out stating, “Personal reasons ended up being a cancer diagnosis in his family. How can an entire fanbase be narcissistic. ”

        The Knicks fanbase was furious. They felt that the Lakers were dismissive of Karl-Anthony Towns' personal situation. Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of his condition, they insinuated that Towns was recovering from the issue that kept him out of the game against the Warriors just because the team is facing the Lakers. This post had fired up the entire Knicks fanbase. While it definitely soured their mood, the good news for them is that KAT is returning and hopefully, everything on his end is good and healthy.

        The two sides will face off for their final East vs West showdown of the regular season. The Lakers hold the lead with one win under their belt this season, who do you think will take this one? Share your thoughts with us before the game kicks off at Crypto. com Arena tonight.
