Karl-Anthony Towns, who was listed as questionable for personal reasons, defied his father's wishes to play in a 93-92 win over the Nets. Towns scored 26 points with 15 rebounds and was accompanied by his father, Karl Sr., who is recovering from a medical procedure. The Nets have not ruled out Michael Porter Jr. for the rest of the season with a left hamstring strain and will be evaluated in two to three weeks. Noah Clowney missed the game due to a sprained wrist and is unlikely to play Sunday at Sacramento. The loss of his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, is not life-threatening.
