The New York Knicks entered the 2024-25 NBA postseason with a solid 51-31 regular season record that had fans dreaming of a deep playoff run. Their journey began with promise as they defeated the Detroit Pistons in the first round before conquering the then defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in the second-round series.
Heartbreak struck in the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Indiana Pacers proved too much to handle and eliminated New York with a 4-2 series victory.
Just weeks after that crushing playoff elimination, it appears that loss hasn’t dampened the spirits of two prominent Knicks players who are capturing attention for entirely different reasons.
Two New York Knicks Players Are Making Waves Over the Internet
A recent viral post on X by “New York Basketball” has captured the buzz. Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns was spotted at Paris Fashion Week alongside his girlfriend, model Jordyn Woods.
They were joined by Towns’ Knicks teammate Jalen Brunson, his wife Ali Marks, and none other than Hermès CEO Axel Dumas.

While it’s unclear exactly when Towns and Woods first met, “People” magazine once revealed that the two were introduced by mutual friends. Their relationship grew during the early pandemic days of May 2020 and by September of that year, they made things official on Instagram.
Woods, who is a professional model, has previously modeled for “Good American,” which is a clothing line co-founded by Khloé Kardashian. This made her presence at Fashion Week an obvious fit.
Brunson, on the other hand, shared a more long-term love story. He and Marks have been together since high school. After nearly a decade of dating, Brunson proposed in September 2022.
The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at Chicago’s Ritz-Carlton in 2023 and just months later, in 2024, they welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Jordyn James.
This isn’t Towns and Woods’ first viral moment in Paris either. The couple turned heads last year at “Viktor & Rolf’s Haute Couture Week,” where Woods rocked an off-shoulder dress.
That year, Towns and Woods were joined by his former Timberwolves teammate Rudy Gobert and his former girlfriend, Julia Bonnilla. Earlier this year, the power couple also made waves at the “Fashion Scholarship Fund’s” annual gala at The Glasshouse in New York City, adding to their growing reputation as fashion royalty.
On the court, both Knicks stars delivered strong playoff performances. Towns averaged 21.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, whereas Brunson dropped 29.4 points, seven assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game.
While the Knicks’ season ended in disappointment, it’s clear their stars are keeping the energy high and the spotlight bright.
