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.

Jalen Brunson has been out multiple weeks because of an ankle injury, but the New York Knicks star is seemingly trending toward returning soon. Per ESPN's Tim Bontemps, Brunson said he's "feeling better" but doesn't have a return date just yet. He also said he's been cleared for basketball activities, per The Athletic's Fred Katz.
