Karl-Anthony Towns Teases Jalen Brunson With ‘Raw’ Media Day Photo

The playful jab highlights a lighter mood entering Mike Brown’s first season with a revised offensive role for Towns.

Overview

  • Karl-Anthony Towns posted a “Raw media day files” image on Sept. 26, sharing a shot with O.G. Anunoby and Jalen Brunson on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
  • In the photo, Brunson appears noticeably shorter than his teammates, and outlets reported the image proportions appear edited to exaggerate the height gap.
  • The post arrived as Knicks players completed media day obligations ahead of a high-expectation season following last spring’s Eastern Conference Finals appearance.
  • New head coach Mike Brown has said he plans to move Towns around the floor more, shifting him from his usual trail and top-of-the-key spots to corners and wings.
  • Last season, Towns averaged about 24 points and 12.8 rebounds while Brunson averaged roughly 26 points and 7.3 rebounds, forming the core of New York’s offense.
