Knicks Free Agency: New York predicted to have a go at Karl-Anthony Towns’ close friend and key player on East rival

The New York Knicks are predicted to pursue top free agents, including Karl-Anthony Towns’ close friend and countryman, Al Horford. The Boston Celtics’ big man is an unrestricted free agent. Horford, 39, remains a sought-after target among centers because of the limited market for players in his position.

According to insider Ian Begley, the Knicks might at least ‘check’ on Horford. He also hinted that Towns’ close relationship with Horford could help New York.

“I think the Knicks will also at least check in on Al Horford’s situation … As an aside: Horford has a close relationship with Karl-Anthony Towns,” Begley wrote on Friday.
