The New York Knicks’ latest win was followed by an uncomfortable moment on the broadcast set when Shaquille O’Neal’s post-game interview with Karl-Anthony Towns veered off course almost as soon as it began.
The exchange took place on February 22, 2026, only minutes after the final buzzer. Details of the dialogue were not immediately released, but viewers quickly noticed the tension as the conversation stalled and the segment ended sooner than expected.
Neither O’Neal nor Towns has publicly commented on the brief but awkward interaction.
