Knicks weigh Towns extension as Rosas departs and coaching staff stays put

New York is expected to offer Karl-Anthony Towns a contract extension this offseason, but not a maximum deal, due to his age (31 next season) and the Knicks' growing salary commitments; Towns has been an All-Star in both of his Knicks seasons and played a key role in the title run, with a 2027/28 player option keeping extension timing flexible. Gersson Rosas’ departure was amicable after his contract expired. The coaching staff is not expected to undergo major changes, though there is some uncertainty about whether Jordan Brink will return. With the 2026/27 schedule on the near horizon and focus on Knicks-Sixers matchups, front-office moves and extension decisions will remain under close watch.

He enjoyed Swift’s courtside support during the Finals, speculated that the Knicks’ title run might have helped spark the wedding’s venue, and pivots to projects like starting a media company and a potential SVU cameo.
