Leading up to the New York Knicks’ matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, star center Karl-Anthony Towns was seen walking into Wells Fargo Center with a Philadelphia Eagles sweater, and the NYC sports faithful didn’t appreciate it.

The Knicks superstar rocked a green Eagles sweater with a retro logo while sitting on the bench during New York’s contest against the rival 76ers at Wells Fargo Center. Towns, an Edison, N.J., native, has made it clear in the past that he had no problem supporting the Eagles, no matter what team in the NBA he’s playing for.
