Karl-Anthony Towns wants a championship feeling amid the NBA Cup chase
The New York Knicks will play against the San Antonio Spurs in the championship game NBA Cup on Tuesday, and Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns is looking forward to competing for the title recognition.
During a media session the day before the Knicks play the Spurs for the 2025 NBA Championship, Karl-Anthony Towns talked about what would that mean to feel like you’re winning a championship in some form.
“That would mean a lot. I think it’s going to give us some good energy, good vibes,” Towns said. “When you get that feeling of winning a championship in any kind of tournament, the NBA Finals, that feeling is something you chase. To get a taste of winning, I think that would be a lot for us.”
In order for the Knicks to win the NBA Cup and beat the Spurs, they will need a big man who plays like he has this season. Towns has appeared in 24 games this year, averaging just over 33 minutes per game. He averaged 22.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 47.4 percent from the field, 36 percent from the 3-point line and 88.2 percent from the free throw line.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Towns is now in his 11th season in the league. He started his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and before the start of the 2024-25 season, he was traded to the Knicks in a shocking deal.
This year, Towns helped lead the way The Knicks to an 18-7 record where they are currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference standings behind only the Detroit Pistons.
