Karl-Anthony Towns Drops Major Hint About Future with Knicks—Is a Contract Extension Imminent?

Karl-Anthony Towns Drops Major Hint About Future with Knicks—Is a Contract Extension Imminent?

Towns and the Knicks front office could not reach terms on an extension last summer, but the conversation will come up again next offseason. Towns is making $53.1 million this season and will make $57.1 million next season, followed by a player option at $61 million for the 2027-28 season. The max extension the Knicks could offer next summer is four years at around $260 million, although the expectation would be a shorter extension at closer to the $55 million a year average he’s near now.

Towns has found a comfort zone in Mike Brown’s offense, where he alternates between playing the four and five, and is averaging 22.1 points and 11.7 rebounds a game. While not an elite defender, he is a solid one in the paint (albeit one prone to lapses). He’s a fantastic fit next to Mitchell Robinson, but the Knicks are working to protect Robinson’s health for the playoffs when they will need him most.
