Issues with Karl-Anthony Towns In the midst of humorous conversation, Josh Hart’s “co-workers” assertion received an inappropriate response.

Josh Hart recently shared a humorous post on X (formerly Twitter) aimed at his New York Knicks teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. Hart jokingly declared that they were not friends or teammates for the day, just “coworkers,” adding, “I don’t like y’all, y’all don’t like me” and tagging both players. The post quickly garnered a funny response from Towns, who fired back with a middle finger emoji, though Brunson has yet to respond.

Towns, who joined the Knicks in October after being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been performing at a high level, leading the team with impressive stats on both ends of the court. In a recent game against his former team, Towns delivered a dominant performance with 32 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals, helping the Knicks to a 133-107 victory. Towns expressed his surprise at the trade, stating he was “stunned” by the move and still processing playing for a different team.

With the Knicks sitting at 18-10, currently third in the Eastern Conference, Towns’ presence has certainly bolstered the team’s chances of challenging the Boston Celtics for the top spot. His standout performance this season includes 24.5 points per game with remarkable shooting efficiency, and he’s leading the league in rebounds with 14 per game. On the defensive side, Towns has also contributed significantly, averaging nearly a block and steal per game.

Despite Towns’ strong showing, there’s still some confusion about why the Cleveland Cavaliers are being overlooked as a legitimate threat in the East.
