#11
Jalen Brunson
Point Guard — Starter
The undisputed engine of New York. Clutch Player of the Year. His footwork remains the gold standard of the NBA. MVP-caliber production night after night.
#32
Karl-Anthony Towns
Center — Starter
All-Star. Best shooting big man in the league. Chemistry with Brunson in the pick-and-pop is elite. Fully embraced the New York energy in his second season.
#8
OG Anunoby
Forward — Starter
Most versatile defender in the NBA. Locks down everyone from Curry to Giannis. When OG plays, the Knicks win. Stoic demeanor is a fan-favorite meme.
#25
Mikal Bridges
Wing — Starter
Ironman streak continues. Takes the toughest perimeter assignment nightly. The Hawks series will test whether his shooting has stabilized heading into the postseason.

Josh Hart
Guard / Forward — Starter
Cultural glue. Leads all guards in rebounding. The man who never sits. Mike Brown has managed his minutes better than Thibs did, saving legs for the playoffs.
#23
Mitchell Robinson
Center — Bench
Elite rim protection off the bench. Maintains the defensive identity when starters rest. Health will be the biggest swing factor in the Hawks series.

Guard — Bench
Trade deadline pickup from the Pelicans. Immediate impact — speed is among the best in the league. His full-court pressure changes the tempo of games.
#—
Jordan Clarkson

Mohamed Diawara
Forward — Bench / Rookie
Second-round pick. Flashing in spot minutes with promising all-around production. Acquired on draft night via Clippers trade.

2025–26 Story So Far
Mike Brown replaced Tom Thibodeau in July 2025 after the Knicks fell in the Eastern Conference Finals to Indiana. Brown — a two-time Coach of the Year who won championships as an assistant under Popovich and Kerr — was hired with a clear mandate: get this roster to the Finals.
The early season hit turbulence with a rough stretch from late December through mid-January featuring two four-game losing skids. But the Knicks responded emphatically — a franchise-record 120–66 demolition of the Nets capped a five-game winning streak that righted the ship.
The crown jewel was the NBA Cup: the Knicks defeated the Spurs on December 16 to claim the title. At 6–1 in the competition, they became the first Cup champions to win the trophy despite a loss along the way.
Jose Alvarado arrived at the trade deadline from the Pelicans. Jordan Clarkson was a key offseason signing. Rookie Mohamed Diawara has flashed in spot minutes.
The Knicks clinched a playoff berth on March 30 and finished 53–29, the 3rd seed in the East — an improvement on last year's 51–31. Round 1 opens tonight at the Garden vs. the Atlanta Hawks.
