So, I got this question stuck in my head the other day, just one of those random thoughts you get, you know? I was thinking about Karl-Anthony Towns, the basketball player, and it just popped in there: does Karl-Anthony Towns have a brother? Seemed like a simple enough thing to find out.

My first step, like most folks, was to just punch it into a search engine. Typed out “Karl-Anthony Towns brother” and hit enter. You get the usual flood of results – sports news, highlights, maybe some fan pages. I started clicking around, seeing what came up.
I went through a few articles, some player bios, that kind of stuff. Sometimes you find these little personal details tucked away in interviews or feature pieces. It’s not always front and center, especially for athletes who are mostly known for, well, their sport.
It wasn’t like some super-secret information, but it also wasn’t plastered everywhere. You gotta do a little bit of reading. I skimmed through a couple of interviews he’s given over the years. He talks a lot about his family, especially his mother, which is really touching, particularly after her passing. That was all over the news, and rightly so, a very sad story.
What I Dug Up
After a bit of this digging, reading through a few more sources, I started to get a clearer picture. It seemed like most family mentions revolved around his parents and his sister. I kept an eye out specifically for any mention of a “brother.”
- Checked some older articles, thinking maybe it was something from earlier in his life.
- Looked at some more in-depth profiles.
- Tried to see if any family photos online showed another male sibling around his age.
And from everything I could piece together, it seems Karl-Anthony Towns does not have a brother. He has a sister, Lachelle Towns. She’s been mentioned a few times in things I read. But no brother.

So, yeah, that was my little journey to answer that question. Sometimes it’s straightforward, sometimes you gotta poke around a bit. In this case, it seems pretty clear. It’s always interesting what you end up learning when you just follow a random thought. Just him and his sister in terms of siblings, as far as my little search expedition could tell. Mystery solved, for me at least!
