Jalen Brunson, a key player for the Knicks, is currently recovering from surgery on his left forearm and wrist after the NBA Finals. His teammate, Karl-Anthony Towns, has been working on his own wrist issues as part of book writing. Sources reveal that Towns is exploring publishing options for his book through the CAA agency.
Details about the book remain unclear, but CAA has already acquired it. Towns, who hails from New Jersey, was once seen as a controversial No. 1 draft pick for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, his quirky personality has made him a favorite in New York.
In a 2024 article from SB Nation, the writer observed the unusual trajectory of Towns’ career, noting his rise from a promising freshman at Kentucky to being drafted first overall and earning Rookie of the Year honors. Yet, the article also described him as someone who sometimes doesn’t realize when he’s the subject of humor.
Even a decade ago, Fox Sports highlighted Towns’ uniqueness during his NCAA days, suggesting he was a “unique cat, er, Wildcat.” Fast forward to May 2026, and with the Knicks making a significant playoff push, a Yahoo Sports piece emphasized how Towns’ transformation has energized the team.
Towns has become a frequent subject of memes on social media, and he’s engaged to Jordyn Woods, a well-known influencer and friend of Kylie Jenner.
His upcoming book represents another facet of the creative ventures stemming from the Knicks’ impressive season. Previously, it was reported that Superfan Ben Stiller was documenting the Knicks’ journey from his courtside seat.
CAA has chosen not to comment.
