As the NBA trade deadline approaches on February 5, 2026, the New York Knicks are not aggressively pursuing Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, despite being his preferred destination last offseason. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports the Knicks believe in their current roster and lack the draft assets for a strong offer without multi-team involvement. Meanwhile, teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat are more active in the sweepstakes.
As the NBA trade deadline approaches on February 5, rumors swirl around New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, with rival teams believing he could be available despite the Knicks' insistence otherwise.

While a major move seems unlikely before the deadline, the chatter highlights New York's defensive struggles and Towns' recent shooting slump.
