What happened: Contract talks between Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks have stagnated. Kevin O'Connor and Macri said on The Kevin O'Connor Show they are not concerned and expect an agreement.

Why it matters: Towns is central to New York's roster planning for the upcoming 2026-27 season. An extension would set contract timing and payroll clarity before the season begins.

What to watch: Watch for any movement from the Knicks or Towns camp as the 2026-27 season approaches.
