  Rotowire Jun 1, 2025

  Towns chipped in 22 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Towns ended what was a successful first season in New York, tabling his fourth straight double-double. Despite battling a knee concern, Towns left it all on the court Saturday, doing everything he could to try and get the Knicks over the line. Although the result was not what Knicks fans would have been hoping for, the Towns experiment was certainly a positive. Across 72 regular-season games, he put up averages of 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes per contest.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles despite injury

  Rotowire May 30, 2025

  Towns closed Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes. Despite playing through a knee injury, Towns delivered a noteworthy performance, recording his third straight double-double and his fifth in the past six games. While it has been a solid series for Towns, his lack of defensive contributions can't be ignored. He has now failed to record a single steal or block in four consecutive games. The Knicks will look to carry this momentum into Game 6, where a victory would then force a deciding game back in New York.

Towns put the Knicks on his back down the stretch, leading from the front as New York erased a 20-point deficit. He has now scored at least 20 points in four straight games, although this may have been his most important offensive showing. After losing both games in front of its home crowd, New York now trails the series 2-1 with Game 4 slated for Tuesday in Indiana.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Only 28 minutes in loss Friday

  Rotowire May 24, 2025

  Towns finished Friday's 114-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and seven rebounds across 28 minutes. Towns played just 28 minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played thus far in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Mitchell Robinson played a postseason-high 29 minutes, with head coach Tom Thibodeau leaning into Robinson's defensive upside. Although Towns should be able to bounce back, his defensive shortcomings are proving to be an issue against the Pacers. New York will now head to Indiana for Game 3 and Game 4, which could be viewed as must-win situations.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Big-time effort not enough

  Rotowire May 22, 2025

  Towns logged 35 points (11-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 138-135 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Towns scored a postseason-high 35 points, adding double-digit rebounds for the eighth time in the past 10 games. While both he and Jalen Brunson did everything they could to get the Knicks over the line, a late flurry by the Pacers proved too much. This will feel like one that got away for New York after having led by double digits during the final quarter. Game 2 will be in New York on Friday, with the Knicks needing to win to avoid trailing 2-0 heading back to Indiana.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Goes for 21 and 12 in Game 6 win

  Rotowire May 17, 2025

  Towns finished Friday's 119-81 victory over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes. Towns dominated the undermanned Celtics, racking up his seventh double-double in the past eight games. Although his scoring average has come down during the playoffs, his importance to this team is non-negotiable. After averaging 23.8 points per game during the regular season, that number has dropped to 19.8 across 12 postseason games. The Knicks will now face the Pacers in what promises to be a spicy matchup, with both teams looking to advance to the big dance.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double streak ends Wednesday

  Rotowire May 15, 2025

  Towns chipped in 19 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Getting into foul trouble in the first half, Towns finished just two rebounds shy of recording another double-double, and that means his streak of games with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds ended at six contests. The star big man also snapped a streak of three games with at least 20 points, but one subpar showing shouldn't erase what he's been doing throughout the playoffs. Towns is averaging 19.6 points and 12.8 boards per game in the current series against Boston and should play a pivotal role on the team in Game 5 on Friday.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double streak continues

  Rotowire May 11, 2025

  Towns finished with 21 points (5-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT) and 15 rebounds across 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Towns had a rough shooting performance, as evidenced by the fact that he needed 18 shots to score 21 points, but at least he extended his streak of double-doubles to five games. Towns is averaging 18.7 points and 15.0 boards per game in the series, and while Saturday wasn't his finest outing, he should remain one of the Knicks' go-to offensive weapons throughout the rest of this matchup against Boston.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Improved performance Wednesday

  Rotowire May 8, 2025

  Towns accumulated 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Towns delivered an improved performance, largely avoiding foul trouble, allowing him to end as the dominant big man. With Kristaps Porzingis limited due to an ongoing illness, Towns was primarily matched up against Al Horford. Although Horford is a proven commodity, he is at the backend of his career, a fact not lost on Towns. The Knicks will now head back to New York with a 2-0 series lead, only two wins away from advancing to the Conference Finals.

Towns picked up three early fouls, limiting him to just 31 minutes. Although he still managed to record a double-double, it was by no means a dominant performance.

• Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Quiet showing in Game 2 defeat

  Rotowire Apr 21, 2025

  Towns chipped in 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 100-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Towns had somewhat of a quiet outing in Monday's postseason contest, struggling to find his shot from deep and just crossing the double-digit scoring total in a disappointing Game 2 performance. Towns recorded a 20-10 outing in Game 1 but took a step back in Game 2 while struggling to find his shot. Look for Towns to have a bounce-back showing in Game 3 with the series now tied 1-1.

Towns averaged a career-high 12.8 rebounds during the regular season, and he'll need to be strong on the glass against Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart (knee) in this series.
