“I think they’re different players in some ways, but similar in others,” Thibodeau said. “I think Julius is more of a power forward, but a terrific player. When you look at what he did for us, the scoring, the passing, rebounding, but it’s at the power forward position. “We had a great need obviously with Mitchell Robinson [injured] and Isaiah [Hartenstein] losing [him] in free agency. We needed a center. That was a big part of it, so I think the center position … when I look at Karl, I like his versatility and his size is important to us.” -via New York Post / October 14, 2024

In what was the unofficial returns of Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to New York, and the first game Karl-Anthony Towns played against Minnesota since being traded earlier this month, the highlight came after the buzzer sounded when DiVincenzo and Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson, the father of New York star guard Jalen Brunson, had to be separated following a verbal altercation. “Just some words. I don’t fully know what was said. A lot of people there,” DiVincenzo said. “But I really have no comment on the situation. We’re both grown men and can talk about it privately.” -via New York Times / October 14, 2024
