The New York Knicks traded Karl-Anthony Towns to give the team more star potential next to Jalen Brunson. While Towns has enjoyed a tremendous first season in the Big Apple, it's clear that he cannot lead a team on his own.

The arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks has significantly strengthened the team, especially in combination with Jalen Brunson’s leadership. This duo has been key to the Knicks' success this season.

Brunson hasn’t played since spraining his ankle on March 6. He needs four more games to qualify for postseason awards. If he doesn’t play in both games of back-to-back sets (the Knicks have two more of those), a return by this weekend will get him exactly to the 65-game threshold by the season finale in Brooklyn on April 13.
