Karl-Anthony Towns showed up to Knicks media day Monday looking noticeably slimmer, and the big man credited his wife, Jordyn Woods, for giving the transformation her stamp of approval.
"My wife thought I looked good," Towns said when asked about losing weight over the summer. "I thought I was looking alright."
The new look comes as Towns and the defending NBA champion Knicks report for training camp following their title run last season. Towns, who is listed at 248 pounds on his NBA profile, will enter the season with plenty of attention on both his slimmer frame and his role as New York begins its championship defense.
