Allan Houston was among the notable names missing from Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods’ star-studded wedding, but the Knicks legend had a good reason for skipping the celebration.

Houston explained that he had family responsibilities that prevented him from attending the ceremony in Malibu.

“I’m so proud of him. He and Jordyn’s journey, they’ve been through a lot, and they’re overcomers,” Houston said about the newlyweds.

“I have to take my daughter overseas to be dropped off at college, so I wasn’t able to go, but I’m so thrilled. Thrilled they’re building a life together.”

Houston, who is approaching his 30th wedding anniversary with his wife, also offered Towns and Woods some advice about maintaining a lasting marriage.

“Honor the covenant. It’s a covenant. It’s not an agreement – a marriage is a covenant, and it’s something you gotta fight for your life for, and I’m sure they will.”

Towns and Woods married Saturday in Malibu in front of a celebrity-filled guest list.

Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Teyana Taylor and Michael B. Jordan were among those attending.
