3 Knicks players with biggest questions surrounding them entering 2026-27 NBA season

Contract extension talks for Karl-Anthony Towns , Josh Hart , and Miles McBride will be central topics in training camp. Also, the team's mindset in a championship-defending season will be another big theme brought up. Let's look at what players are facing the most questions heading into the new season.

Coming off a title, the Knicks are still on cloud nine. Jalen Brunson just continued the good times hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

However, one potential rain cloud on the way is Towns' contract extension talks. The team and the big man have yet to come to terms on a new deal. Towns can sign for a maximum of four years and $276 million. SNY's Ian Begley noted last week that the Knicks have made offers to Towns that started between $45 million and $50 million per season, which would equal a range of $180 million to $200 million over a four-year deal.
