New York Knicks coaches and players were frustrated by Karl-Anthony Towns’ defensive habits throughout the season, according to James L. Edwards and Fred Katz of The Athletic.
The frustration was caused by Towns’ defensive process and execution of incorrect coverages without communicating his reasoning.Â
His teammates were also worried that Towns did not understand the importance of the issue.
The Knicks held several players-only meetings throughout their playoff run.Â
Jalen Brunson said following their season-ending loss in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals that he hopes the team keeps its core together for next season.Â
