NextImg:The crickets around any Karl-Anthony Towns-Knicks extension talks shouldn’t be surprising

An All-NBA selection is up for an extension that nobody is talking about it. 

The lack of attention to Karl-Anthony Towns’ situation is understandable after crunching the numbers, but I still find it noteworthy — and at least worthy of exploration — that the Knicks center has until Oct. 20 to add two years to his contract. 

After all, he just averaged 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds while shooting 42 percent on 3-pointers. He and Nikola Jokic were the only players with those types of numbers last season. Offensively, it was the best campaign for a Knicks center since Patrick Ewing’s prime. Adding two more years to Towns’ deal would further align New York’s starting lineup contractually. The Knicks just gave a near max extension to a zero-time All-Star in Mikal Bridges. Towns has a handful of All-Star selections, including a fifth last season. 

Yet, crickets.
