A noted Philadelphia Eagles fan, Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a><\/strong> showcased his fandom Wednesday night as the New York Knicks took on the 76ers. Teammate Jalen Brunson<\/a><\/strong> supported the decision \u2013 although Towns appeared to change his mind.<\/p>\n

Towns showed up to the Wells Fargo Center in a Kelly green Eagles sweater ahead of the team\u2019s NFL<\/a><\/strong> Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Brunson, who\u2019s also an Eagles fan, emphatically co-signed the move even though the Knicks were in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Brunson told ESPN\u2019s Cassidy Hubbarth.<\/p>\n

However, at halftime, Towns reversed course. He walked out of the locker room in a Knicks shirt as New York looked to extend its 60-47 lead at the break, and Hubbarth wondered if he heard the reaction to his fashion choice.<\/p>\n

Towns is out of the lineup due to a thumb injury suffered Monday against the Detroit Pistons, and ESPN\u2019s Tim McMahon reported<\/a> he suffered a bone chip, as well. It\u2019s unclear when he\u2019ll be able to return to the court after the injury was originally deemed a sprain.<\/p>\n

Through his first season with the Knicks, Towns has been impressive. He was averaging 25.4 points and a team-high 13.6 rebounds at the time of his injury after reuniting with Tom Thibodeau<\/strong>, who was his head coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2016-19.<\/p>\n

The Knicks will play again Friday against the Atlanta Hawks before welcoming the Timberwolves for a Monday game at Madison Square Garden. That will allow Karl-Anthony Towns to watch the Eagles take on the Rams Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. The winner will then advance to the NFC Championship against the winner of the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders game.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia put together a complete performance against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round on Sunday to come away with the 22-10 victory. The Eagles picked off Jordan Love<\/a><\/strong> three times and got 119 yards from Saquon Barkley<\/a><\/strong> to advance in the playoffs. Jalen Hurts<\/a><\/strong> was also efficient, completing 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns \u2013 including an impressive score from Dallas Goedert<\/a><\/strong>, who fought off multiple defenders.<\/p>\n
