The New York Knicks’ representation at the 2026 NBA All-Star festivities ended on a sour note on Feb. 15. Guard Jalen Brunson was beaten in the final round of his event, while fellow All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns drew unwanted attention with a costly blunder.
Brunson, appearing in his first All-Star weekend as a Knick, advanced all the way to the championship round before being edged. The narrow defeat capped an otherwise strong showing but left the 27-year-old visibly frustrated.
Towns’ misstep—coming during a separate moment of the night—quickly became a talking point around the league. The error punctuated what proved to be a forgettable evening for New York fans hoping for a highlight-reel performance from their team’s star and a clean outing from the former No. 1 overall draft pick.
The Knicks return to regular-season play later this week looking to regain momentum after the All-Star break.
