Karl-Anthony Towns continues to commit some of the dumbest fouls you could possibly imagine.
He’s an awesome player, but you just can’t take yourself out of the game like this. – 10:20 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns has a tattoo behind his right ear. He has to fold it to reveal the ink.
It reads “4:/13” & has a double meaning.
On Dominican Mother’s Day, KAT’s Game 3 gem didn’t just save the Knicks, it gave him the stage to honor his mother:

For three quarters, both Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks looked lost.
Then, Towns couldn’t have been more locked in – and delivered an all-time performance to save New York’s season.

More on this storyline
Towns limped back onto the floor and finished out the Knicks’ 130-121 loss to the Pacers in Game 4, putting them in a 3-1 hole and on the brink of elimination. The All-Star big man, who finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds in 37 minutes, also appeared to be favoring the same knee earlier in the game. “I’m only thinking about this loss, I’m not thinking about that right now,” Towns replied when asked afterward if there was any concern on his part about playing in Game 5 Thursday night back in New York. “It’s disappointing when you don’t get a win. Just didn’t do enough to get the job done tonight.” -via New York Post / May 28, 2025

Knicks Videos: Pascal Siakam was asked about the Pacers’ decision to double team Karl-Anthony Towns more: “We know he’s gifted offensively and he can shoot, he can drive. It’s a team effort, he’s a tough cover.” -via Twitter / May 28, 2025
