Karl-Anthony Towns Reflects on Trade to New York Knicks Despite Time Passed

More than a year after being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the New York Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns continues to express disbelief over the transfer. This sentiment was shared following his impressive performance, in which he scored 15 points to help the Knicks secure a 137-114 victory over the Timberwolves on Thursday, November 6, 2025 (Philippine time), during an NBA match.

"I'm still stunned, I mean, I'm still stunned. It's weird," Towns admitted, reflecting on the profound impact the trade has had on him even after an extended period.

His statement highlights the emotional and psychological adjustments professional athletes often face when transitioning between teams, especially when facing a former team in competition. Towns’ contribution to the Knicks' win underscored his continued value and adaptability within the league.
