Whereas most play with a chip on their shoulder, New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns will operate with one in his thumb. Per Stefan Bondy and Peter Botte of the New York Post, tests on Towns' sprained right thumb that kept him out of Wednesday's game in Philadelphia also revealed a bone chip.

Brunson, also known for his die-hard Eagles fandom, scored 38 points in the Knicks’ overtime win over the Sixers. During the game, he told ESPN he “absolutely” cosigned Towns wearing an Eagles sweater, and postgame was asked why Towns changed out of his Birds sweater.

Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns has a bone chip in his right thumb to go along with the sprain he sustained in Monday's loss, sources confirmed.
