The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Knicks have held contract talks with Karl-Anthony Towns' camp regarding proposals starting in the $45 million to $50 million per year range, according to Ian Begley of SportsNet New York. Although discussions were described as positive, negotiations reportedly hit a snag earlier in the week, making a new deal unlikely before the start of training camp.

Towns enters the final guaranteed year of his contract at $57 million and holds a $61 million player option for 2027-28. The Knicks seek to avoid the luxury tax second apron, which contributed to losing Mitchell Robinson in free agency, while also managing future extensions for Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Miles McBride.
