The Knicks’ dynamic duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns earned All-NBA honors, the league announced Friday.
Brunson was named to the All-NBA second team while Towns made it to the All-NBA third team.
The Knicks guard is having another incredible season in his third year in New York. After being named to his second All-Star team — his first as a starter — he’s now a two-time All-NBA player after being named to the second team a season ago.
Brunson joins Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James and Evan Mobley on the second team after averaging 26 points, 2.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists across 65 games this season.
As for Towns, the first-year Knick not only made the All-Star team but was named to his third career All-NBA team. He was named to the All-NBA third team for the 2017-18 season and the 2021-22 season as a member of the Timberwolves.
Towns joins Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden and Jalen Williams on the All-NBA third team after averaging 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 72 games this season.
While both Knicks had tremendous seasons, they fell short of first-team honors. That recognition went to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and MVP winner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
