New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles

PHILADELPHIA — One day the Knicks might be as good as the Sixers. No longer the shame of the league hanging onto their “Trust The Process’’ moniker, the eighth-seeded Sixers moved eight games up on the 11th-place Knicks with a 108-92 victory at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. The lottery-bound Knicks lost their seventh straight...

PHILADELPHIA – It’s the family’s biggest regret. Jean-Michel Mudiay believes his older brother Emmanuel’s career would look different had he attended SMU and learned under Larry Brown for a season. After two-and-a-half seasons of underachievement in Denver, Mudiay was dealt to the Knicks at Thursday’s trade deadline and turned out a smoking debut Sunday in...

INDIANAPOLIS — Kristaps Porzingis still wants to somehow be part of All-Star Weekend, even if he’s on crutches in New York next Sunday. As hokey as it might sound, Porzingis is sending boxes of his new “Zing Bars” special delivery to Los Angeles to distribute to his Team LeBron teammates. “I won’t be playing this...

INDIANAPOLIS — The Knicks have three point guards aged 25-and-under who need grooming, particularly 2017 lottery pick Frank Ntiliikna and 2015 lottery pick Emmanuel Mudiay, who made his Knicks debut versus the Pacers Sunday. As a result, the Knicks are considering bringing aboard former point guard Pablo Prigioni as a developmental coach, according to two...

INDIANAPOLIS — Four points guards weren’t enough to topple the Pacers. Though newcomer Emmanuel Mudiay put up a double-double in his Knicks debut, the club suffered its sixth straight loss in a 121-113 defeat to Indiana at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. In 29 minutes off the bench and without a team practice, Mudiay finished with 14...

INDIANAPOLIS — You can call them “The French Connection.” Maybe there’s some karma with newly acquired Knicks point guard Emmanuel Mudiay joining French rookie Frank Ntilikina. Mudiay said he, too, is fluent in French, having grown up in the Congo, and they already have been bonding in that language. The trade for Mudiay has raised...

You have a young, foreign-born, lottery-pick point guard who has struggled lately as a rookie. So you trade for a young, foreign-born lottery pick point guard who has struggled since entering the league in 2015-16. What does that tell the other guy? Nothing negative, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek hopes. Hornacek does not think the acquisition...

Center Enes Kanter, perhaps the last guy in New York — beyond the drunk on the corner stool of a bar on W. 33rd Street — may have run up the white flag on the Knicks’ playoff hopes in the wake of Kristaps Porzingis’ injury. “It’s tough. We are in 11th spot right now. I’m...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
There are a thousand reasons why this will never happen, of course. We could list them all here but: a) it’s depressing, and b) the list would probably run over into Mushnick’s page and he charges exorbitant rent. So we can focus on the one reason why it should happen. The one reason why LeBron...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
It won’t speed up Kristaps Porzingis’ rehab process, but credit Knicks general manager Scott Perry for jumping in to pacify a saddened fan base with a series of well-intended sentiments. It’s part of the job, even if former president Phil Jackson didn’t think it was, and the first-year GM carried it out seamlessly. That’s why...

The Knicks’ controversial decision to trade a 23-year-old, All-Rookie first-team center selection for two distant second-round picks became clearer Thursday in Toronto. The 7-foot former Vanderbilt center Luke Kornet, who has spent the season with G-League Westchester, made his NBA debut a historic one at Air Canada Centre. He posted a double-double, adding four blocks...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks general manager Scott Perry said the addition of young point guard Emmanuel Mudiay is part of their “talent acquisition phase’’ and has no reflection on any disappointment with their struggling rookie lottery point guard Frank Ntilikina. Thursday’s trade with the Nuggets for Mudiay, 21, a former lottery pick himself in 2015, gives the Knicks...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
TORONTO – Jared Jeffries, the former Nuggets’ scouting director and ex-Knicks forward, told The Post that Emmanuel Mudiay desperately needed out of Denver before his entire career was shot. Denver had moved on with their 2016 first-rounder, Jamal Murray and Mudiay, 21, was regressing. Jeffries, who helped draft Mudiay with the seventh pick in 2015,...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
TORONTO – Jarrett Jack isn’t trying to scare Kristaps Porzingis, just warn him. The Knicks veteran point guard said it took him 17 months before he was back and the process “is going to suck.’’ However, there’s a caveat. When Jack tore his ACL in January 2016, he also had meniscus damage. In fact, he...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
TORONTO — Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina reacted with his usual nonchalance about the Knicks trading for another young point guard — Emmanuel Mudiay — at Thursday’s trade deadline. “It’s good — a young player, good for our future,” Ntilikina said before the Knicks’ 113-88 loss to the Raptors at Air Canada Centre. “We both can...
