The New York Knicks may be considering bolstering their roster, but an injury-prone big man with only one 70-game season to his name since the 2018–19 season is not the most appealing option. This describes the potential scenario if the Knicks were to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Anthony-Towns, who played in 82 games for three consecutive years before his value began to wane due to recurring injuries, was the No. 1 overall pick in 2015 out of Kentucky. He’s on the cusp of embarking on a four-year, $234.5 million contract.
To acquire KAT, the Knicks would need to be prepared to shoulder a $52.
