Towns Extends Double-Double Streak, Tied With Randolph

Karl-Anthony Towns reached a new milestone in his career with the New York Knicks, extending his streak of double-doubles to seven games in a row.

During Monday’s 103-90 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Towns contributed 11 points and 16 rebounds, marking his seventh consecutive double-double to start the 2026-27 season.

According to New York Basketball, only two players have recorded more consecutive double-doubles to open a season for the Knicks: Willis Reed with 11 in 1970 and Charles Oakley with nine in 1989.

Towns is now tied with Zach Randolph, who achieved seven consecutive double-doubles in 2007, and trails Patrick Ewing, who recorded six in 1990.

After the game, Towns spoke with MSG Network’s Bill Pidto about his mindset and the team’s focus on winning.

He emphasized the importance of impacting games every day, regardless of scoring performance, and highlighted the team’s determination to continue improving after their championship success.

Towns also expressed confidence in the team’s potential, stating that the Knicks have more to offer their fans than they did in the previous season.
