Karl-Anthony Towns makes official number decision with Knicks
Karl-Anthony Towns has officially revealed that he will continue to wear the No. 32 jersey with the New York Knicks following his blockbuster trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to Etienne Catalan, the number, last worn by former Knick Noah Vonleh in 2019, will make its return as Towns steps into a pivotal role with New York.
The Knicks formally announced the trade on Wednesday, marking the conclusion of a multi-team deal involving the Charlotte Hornets. In the trade, the Knicks acquired Towns while sending Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Keita Bates-Diop to the Timberwolves. The Hornets absorbed Charlie Brown Jr., DaQuan Jeffries, and Duane Washington Jr. from New York. The trade also included draft picks and financial considerations, with all teams working through the NBA’s complex CBA rules. For New York, this trade is a significant investment in the future, with Towns becoming a cornerstone of their long-term plans.
