What happened
Before Sunday practice, Mike Brown set aside film work to talk with the Knicks about being mindful of teammates and the personal issues people can face, pointing to contract worries and his own family loss as examples.
Karl-Anthony Towns said the meeting felt meaningful and said it could help the group stay more connected, with Brown stressing that the message was about the team growing closer, not just contracts.
This is a locker-room message rather than a lineup change, but it comes as New York is already dealing with extension tension. It may matter most for team chemistry; no rotation or availability update was provided.
