A couple of pieces of information, and then we'll get to your phone calls on this very busy Wednesday, 888808-101-19.

You may have heard earlier or read earlier that Carl Anthony Towns was downgraded to Doubtful for tonight's game.

That was a Sharmes-sharning a report, and he is as good as anybody.

So he was downgraded to doubtful.

Stefan Bondi, who does a really good job covering the New York Knicks for the New York Post,

recently tweeted,

despite being downgraded to doubtful,

I'm hearing Carl Anthony Towns will indeed play for the Knicks in tonight's season opener.

So I don't know anymore.

What does anything mean anymore?

I don't know.

So that's good news, obviously, if your next man.

There's information and misinformation, and then what seems like is going to be the Knicks in 2025.

Oh, you think this is a broader Knicks thing this year?

Yeah.

They're going to mislead us on injuries? It might be intentional. You think so? Maybe. For a competitive edge? A competitive edge. I mean, the Jets are doing it. That's true. That's true. Maybe what Mike Brown and the Knicks are thinking is we need to learn from Aaron Glenn. Because Aaron Glenn earlier today met the was asked who's your starting quarterback and he refused to confirm it because he wanted a competitive edge. Take a list of the head coach of the Jets. We will have a quarterback on Sunday. I would tell you that. I wouldn't want to give them a competitive advantage when I have that opportunity. But we will have a quarterback.

I love it. We will have a quarterback. Obviously. This isn't going to be the Broncos in the COVID season, that one week. He's not going to be Isaiah Davis taking direct snaps and trying to hand it off to Breece Hall. You know what? May actually be a good idea. With this offense. So Glenn is doing the whole misdirection. I'm not going to tell you.

And maybe the Knicks are trying that with Carl Anthony Towns.

He's questionable. He's doubtful. Now he'll likely play. And I, why would you not, if you're not, if you're any way capable, it's the home opener of the season. You want to be out there. You absolutely want to be. Even if you only play 20 minutes. Well, that's what I wonder about. Like, forget about if he's going to play or not. Obviously, as a Nick fan, you care greatly about that. And we'll continue to keep you posted. We'll be taking you very close to the tip tonight. But who is leaking he's not playing? And who is now leaking he is playing. That's what I always wonder about.

I bet he's leaking, he is playing.

So you think that now, did the Knicks leak to Shams? Cats not playing tonight? It's doubtful? Yeah, maybe. So this is like a Knicks versus Cat thing in your mind? The Knicks downgraded him to Doubtful. Yes. That was the injury report. That's true. So they did it. Right. So I think Shams had it like right before the Knicks put it out.

But then the Knicks themselves put out that he's doubtful.
