Karl-Anthony Towns hurt his left wrist early against Chicago, returned with it taped, and helped the Knicks win 133-127.

The game was played Wednesday night, Oct. 28, at the United Center. Towns finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

The injury came in the first quarter. Noa Essengue was chasing Jalen Brunson around the perimeter and ran into Towns, knocking him down.

Towns lay on the floor in clear pain and grabbed his left wrist before going to the locker room.

He came back after getting the wrist taped. Foul trouble kept him to 28 minutes, and he shot 7 of 14 from the field.

Brunson led New York with 38 points, seven assists and six three-pointers, all season highs for him.

The Knicks had not reached Chicago until about 3 a.m. on Wednesday, according to NBC Sports.

New York started the season 0-3. This win, after beating Detroit on Tuesday, gave the team two in a row and a 2-3 record.

The Knicks visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, Oct. 30. It was not yet known whether Towns would be on the injury report.
