Knicks' Brunson, Towns named to NBA Cup All-Tournament team

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns were each named to the 2025 All-Tournament team for the NBA Cup, the league announced Thursday.

The teammates are joined by Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic, Oklahoma City Thunder guard and reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and San Antonio Spurs ball-handler De'Aaron Fox.

Brunson scored 25 points with eight assists and four rebounds in Tuesday's NBA Cup win against the Spurs, while Towns contributed a double-double with 16 points and 11 assists. The two were even more instrumental in New York's semifinal victory over the Orlando Magic, with Brunson dropping a season-high 40 points on 16-of-27 shooting with eight assists and Towns registering 29 points and eight rebounds.

The Knicks guard was the only player selected by all 20 voters on the media panel.

Voting results

Gilgeous-Alexander topped the Thunder with 32.5 points per game, adding 6.3 assists and three rebounds. His 48.1% clip from three was the best mark of any player who attempted at least 20 total threes and played in at least six NBA Cup games.

Doncic finished second behind Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham among all scorers in the tournament. The Slovenian posted 36.2 points per game in five matchups, just shy of the 38.3 points Cunningham averaged in three contests. Doncic had the third- and fourth-highest scoring games in the NBA Cup, dropping 44 points against the Memphis Grizzlies and 43 against the Los Angeles Clippers in two group-stage wins.

Fox led the Spurs' starters with 16 points in the final, though franchise star Victor Wembanyama and No. 2 pick Dylan Harper scored 18 and 21 off the bench, respectively. Fox led San Antonio in scoring over six NBA Cup games, averaging 22.3 points with 7.7 assists and shooting 39.5% from deep.
