Top Karl-Anthony Towns News

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Quiet in season opener

    Towns closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.

    The veteran center didn't make much of an impact in his Knicks debut, taking a back seat on offense to Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges. Towns should see his numbers grow as he gets more comfortable with his new teammates, and his familiarity with coach Tom Thibodeau's system from their time together with the Timberwolves should help accelerate the process. Towns averaged 25.4 points and 11.6 rebounds a game during the two full seasons he played under Thibodeau in Minnesota, but the 28-year-old may not be capable of that sort of production on a consistent basis at this stage of his career.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in preseason finale

    Towns notched 22 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and a block across 30 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Wizards.

    Towns was traded from the Timberwolves to the Knicks in late September and figures to be a cornerstone for New York in 2024-25, presumably starting and center and operating as the team's second option on offense behind Jalen Brunson. There will be some adjustment period, but Towns should eventually adjust to playing in a different environment after playing each of his previous nine seasons with Minnesota.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Expected to play Friday

    Towns (rest) is expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    It seems the Knicks will play their starters in their preseason finale, though it's uncertain how many minutes they'll log. This will be Towns' first year with the Knicks after being acquired in a trade that sent Julius Randle to the Timberwolves. He figures to play a prominent role on offense alongside Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Gets night off

    Towns won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets for rest purposes, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Towns and the rest of New York's starters will get the night off. They're expected to be back in action during Friday's preseason finale in Washington.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Posts inefficient double-double

    Towns generated 25 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, a steal and two blocks across 28 minutes of Wednesday's 117-94 preseason win over the Wizards.

    All five Knicks starters played at least 23 minutes, and Towns led the team in points and rebounds. The 28-year-old attempted to shoot through his cold spell, as he's now shooting 9-for-29 from the field and 2-for-12 from three-point land across two preseason contests. Still, it's encouraging to see the former Minnesota Timberwolf in a featured role with his new team.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Plays 15 minutes in Knicks debut

    Towns finished Sunday's preseason game against Charlotte with 10 points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes.

    Making his Knicks debut, Towns started at center, as anticipated, alongside Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. While he played only 15 minutes, Towns was able to launch five three-point attempts and work his way to the line six times. The veteran will be a key piece for the new-look Knicks, who acquired Bridges in the offseason and sent out both Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in the deal for Towns.
