Karl-Anthony Towns Available for NBA Cup Opener
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) will play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, head coach Mike Brown said, per The Athletic's Fred Katz. Towns was listed as probable after hurting his wrist during Wednesday's win over Chicago, but he stayed in the game and finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. The 30-year-old has posted a double-double in all five games this season, averaging 21.8 points and 13.8 rebounds while shooting 58.3 percent from the field. With Towns cleared, he should handle his usual workload in New York's NBA Cup opener.

Karl-Anthony Towns Nearly Posts Triple-Double in Preseason Finale
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns finished one assist shy of a triple-double in Thursday's 122-120 preseason win over the Toronto Raptors, recording 13 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists in 29 minutes. He shot 4-for-8 from the field and 2-for-5 from three after resting Tuesday. Towns facilitated well, while Jalen Brunson led New York with 20 points and seven assists. If the Knicks continue running more offense through Towns, the extra playmaking could add another useful layer to his fantasy production heading into Tuesday's opener against Philadelphia.

Karl-Anthony Towns to Remain Hub of Knicks Offense
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns will remain a central part of the offense this season, with head coach Mike Brown saying the scheme will continue to run through him while evolving over time. The six-time All-Star averaged 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 75 games last season before taking on more playmaking responsibility during the playoffs. Towns averaged 6.6 assists through the first two rounds before that number fell to 3.1 over the final nine games. If the Knicks keep using him as a facilitator from the elbow, even a modest assist increase would add another layer to an already strong fantasy profile.

Knicks Waive Igor Milicic
The New York Knicks have waived forward Igor Milicic, the team announced. The move comes days after he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the defending champions. Westchester already holds his G League rights after a trade with Delaware, and Milicic can earn a bonus of up to roughly $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with the affiliate. He averaged 6.9 points in 18.8 minutes across 45 games with the Blue Coats last season, shooting 40.2 percent from the field. The Polish forward posted 18 points and eight rebounds against Germany in World Cup qualifying last month, but he carries no fantasy value at the NBA level. The bigger fantasy question is how New York fills out its frontcourt after losing Mitchell Robinson to Boston, with Andre Drummond as the veteran reinforcement.

OG Anunoby Sets Sights on Knicks Title Defense
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is already locked in on a title defense after the franchise's first championship since 1973. In an interview with Fadeaway World, Anunoby said winning another title is "everyone's goal" and framed his offseason around steady individual growth. He also brushed off Philadelphia's additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, saying loaded East rosters are nothing new. Anunoby's fantasy appeal comes from continuity. He returns to a locked-in starting role under Mike Brown after averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.6 steals, and 0.7 blocks across 67 games. That across-the-board production keeps him among the steadier wing options in fantasy.

Mohamed Diawara Plans to Re-Sign with Knicks
New York Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara plans to re-sign on a multiyear deal worth more than $10 million, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Diawara made the title team as a 2025 second-rounder on a standard deal but played a limited role, averaging 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 9.2 minutes across 69 games. He saw only limited playoff action, and his production remained modest, though his 37 percent shooting from deep hinted at long-term 3-and-D upside for the 21-year-old French forward. On a stacked New York roster, Diawara carries no fantasy weight right now. His re-signing is a low-cost developmental bet, not a move that shifts any rotation outlook.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ends Finals with a Quiet Game 5
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns managed just two points on 1-for-7 shooting in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 win over the San Antonio Spurs, the clincher in New York's first championship since 1973. Foul trouble defined his night, as Towns fouled out with six personals, limiting the All-Star to 23 minutes. He still grabbed 10 rebounds and chipped in one assist, three steals, and one block, while Jalen Brunson carried the scoring with 45. The quiet finish caps an otherwise strong Finals in which Towns posted three double-doubles. For fantasy managers, this is a one-game outlier, not a red flag: his rebounding, scoring, and floor-spacing keep him an elite fantasy big, and a looming Knicks extension should lock in his role for years.

OG Anunoby Leans on Defense in Game 5 Title Win
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby tallied 11 points, eight rebounds, three steals, one block, and one three-pointer in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old struggled offensively, shooting 3-for-11 from the field and 4-for-6 at the line, but he still chipped in enough defensive production to help New York clinch the title. This was a quiet close after Anunoby scored 33 points in Game 4 and 28 in Game 3. Across 17 postseason games, he averaged 20.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks, making his two-way profile the biggest fantasy takeaway heading into next season.

Mikal Bridges Chips in During Championship-Clinching Win
New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges notched 14 points, two rebounds, four assists, one block, and three three-pointers in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 29-year-old went 5-for-10 from the field and gave New York another efficient complementary line while Jalen Brunson carried the offense. Bridges averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists during the regular season, so this was a fitting closeout snapshot of his fantasy profile: useful scoring, threes, defensive stats, and strong percentages without needing heavy usage. His role should remain steady as a multi-category piece for next season.

Karl-Anthony Towns Limited by Foul Trouble in Game 4 Against Spurs
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns was limited to 13 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in a dramatic 107-106 win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The veteran star picked up two fouls in the opening 1:02 and ended up logging just 26 minutes due to foul trouble. When he was on the floor, Towns was effective. Posting a double-double in 26 minutes is no mean feat, and he missed only one of his five field-goal attempts, going 4-for-4 at the line. Towns has now managed just 24 points over the last two games, but the Knicks are still on the cusp of winning the championship. O.G. Anunoby, who tallied a playoff career-high 33 points on Wednesday, has taken over the offensive duties from Towns.

OG Anunoby Completes Historic Knicks Comeback
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby scored a playoff career-high 33 points in a huge 107-106 comeback win in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit, marking the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. Anunoby's final bucket came 2.1 seconds from the end of the fourth quarter, when he tipped in the game-winner after Jalen Brunson's missed three-pointer. Across 41 minutes, Anunoby was incredible from downtown, going 7-for-9, and finished 10-for-15 overall from the field. He had four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Anunoby has come alive offensively recently and will look to keep it up in Game 5 on Saturday night, when the Knicks have a chance to win their first championship since 1973.

Jose Alvarado Warns Victor Wembanyama After Game 3 Shove
Knicks reserve guard Jose Alvarado issued a warning to Victor Wembanyama after the Spurs center shoved Jalen Brunson in the back of the head during Monday's Game 3, telling reporters "that'll be the last one," the New York Post reports. Officials missed the first-quarter play, and the NBA is reviewing it for a retroactive flagrant foul after its head of officiating acknowledged a foul was there. That review is the fantasy story. Wembanyama, who poured in 32 points with eight rebounds, six assists, and three blocks in the 115-111 win, already drew a Flagrant-2 ejection earlier this postseason. An upgrade here would leave him one flagrant foul away from an automatic one-game suspension, a live availability risk for DFS managers with the Spurs trailing 2-1 entering Game 4.

OG Anunoby Racks Up 28 Points in Monday's Loss
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby did very little wrong on Monday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, notching 28 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in a 115-111 loss. He did the damage on a 9-for-13 effort from the field, finishing 3-for-7 from downtown and 7-for-9 at the charity stripe. Anunoby was just one field goal shy of setting his new playoff scoring record. The 28-year-old always finds ways to impact the game and has been a key cog for the Knicks throughout the playoffs. In the Finals, Anunoby has yet to score fewer than 17 points and has registered multiple blocks in back-to-back games.

Karl-Anthony Towns Quiet in Game 3 Loss Monday Night
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns had a quiet outing in Monday's Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring only 11 points on a 4-for-10 effort from the field in a 115-111 home loss. Additionally, Towns was limited to one assist and eight rebounds, failing to notch a double-double for only the second time in his past seven games. While Towns struggled to make an impact on the offensive end, his defensive work was impressive. In 38 minutes, Towns blocked two shots and recorded three steals. Expect Towns to try to rebound offensively in Game 4 on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby Anchors Knicks' Defense in Finals Game 2
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby provided a steady two-way presence in Friday's 105-104 Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs, finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks. The former Raptor shot 5-for-10 from the field, 2-for-5 from deep, and a perfect 5-for-5 at the line while drawing the primary assignment on Victor Wembanyama. His biggest moment came late, when he sank three free throws after a Julian Champagnie foul to retake the lead. Anunoby's three-and-D role gives him a dependable DFS floor, with that defensive workload and timely shooting keeping his line steady behind Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
