Mon Feb 17 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Knicks’ Towns Elected NBPA Vice President

**San Francisco, CA** – New York Knicks All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns has added another accolade to his resume, this time off the court. Towns was elected vice president of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) Executive Committee, the organization announced today. He joins fellow All-Stars Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) and Gabe Vincent (Los Angeles Lakers) in the newly elected leadership.

Towns’s election is no surprise, given his long-standing commitment to social justice initiatives. He was awarded the 2024 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion Award for his work expanding voting rights in Minnesota. He has previously stated that his off-court contributions are more important to him than his on-court achievements, hoping to honor the memory of his late mother. The newly elected vice president’s focus on social responsibility aligns well with his new role in the NBPA’s Executive Committee.
