Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable to face his former team Friday with a sprained right thumb, while Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo will miss his return to Madison Square Garden with a toe injury.

Donte DiVincenzo, a Knicks hero of last season’s playoffs, has been ruled out of Friday’s MSG return because of a sprained toe, the Timberwolves announced.
