Karl-Anthony Towns has been the center of recent trade rumors. In this NBA mock trade, he would be sent to the Bucks in exchange for a two-time MVP, as the Knicks look to capitalize on their championship window.

Brown has sent a clear message to the front office on which players he trusts and which he doesn't.

Knicks star Jalen Brunson suffered a right ankle injury in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings and did not return.

The two teams square off for the second time this season. The Suns defeated the Knicks 112-107 in their last meeting on Jan. 10. Devin Booker led the Suns with 31 points, and Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 27 points.

An exciting game, Knicks vs. Mavericks, is scheduled on January 19. Here's the preview, starting lineups, and injury reports for the night.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 20 points, 11 rebounds and a season-high seven assists, Jalen Brunson scored 26 points and the New York Knicks snapped their four-game losing streak with a 123-111 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns has surprisingly been mentioned in trade rumors, but nothing is expected at the deadline.

The Mavericks beat the Knicks — who Mike Brown declared, at long last, fully healthy — without stars Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, centers Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, plus role players D’Angelo Russell, PJ Washington, and Dante Exum.
