HOLD
Karl-Anthony Towns

Elite center production is locked in; nothing here moves his stock.

Key numbers
  • Towns finished 2025-26 at 40.6 FPTS/G, our #5 center
  • Played 75 games last season: 20.1 pts, 11.9 reb, 3 ast
  • Won first Knicks title in 53 years in June 2026
  • Wedding held Aug. 16 in Malibu, per reports
  • Brunson, Hart, Anunoby among teammates in attendance

Karl-Anthony Towns collected the biggest ring of his career in June, when the Knicks beat the Spurs in five to win their first NBA title in 53 years. Over the weekend he added a second one. The 30-year-old center married longtime partner Jordyn Woods in an oceanfront Malibu ceremony on Aug. 16, capping a run that has been about as good as any calendar year can get for one guy.

This is pure offseason news, so let's be upfront about the fantasy stakes: none. Towns wrapped 2025-26 as our No. 5 center and No. 28 player overall, averaging 40.6 fantasy points per game across a heavy 75-game workload — 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3 assists a night. That production doesn't change because a man got married in August.

The guest list, though, reads like a Knicks group chat. Reports place teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Jose Alvarado and Miles McBride at the ceremony, alongside courtside regulars Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet. Woods and Towns have been together since 2020 and announced their engagement last Christmas.

What It Means For Your Roster

Nothing shifts on draft boards, but the surrounding cast is worth a quick glance. Brunson finished 2025-26 as our No. 14 guard at 40.5 FPTS/G over 74 games — a reliable first-round anchor. Hart landed at No. 44 among guards (30.4 FPTS/G in 66 games) but limped to the finish, down 9.7 fantasy points across his final five outings versus his season average.

Alvarado is the sneaky name here. He closed 2025-26 as a deep-league afterthought at 17.7 FPTS/G, but his last five games ran 7.4 points above his season line — the kind of late-year bump that can matter if the Knicks tweak their rotation heading into 2026-27.

The bottom line for managers: treat this as a scroll-past. Towns is a rock-solid HOLD wherever he's rostered, and his top-five center ceiling isn't going anywhere. Enjoy the wedding photos, then get back to your draft prep.
