New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Mollie Walker) —
Knicks coach David Fizdale has gone international to better his relationship with his best player. Fizdale, announced as the new head coach in early May, arrived in Latvia with his wife, Natasha Sen-Fizdale, earlier this week to spend time with Kristaps Porzingis. “The NBA is a small world and you kinda know people from afar,...
NY Post (Mollie Walker) —
No NBA star is off the table for the Knicks, according to big man Enes Kanter. Appearing on ESPN’s “The Jump” on Thursday, the Turkish center made his latest pitch for a star — this time Kevin Durant — to join the Knicks. Kanter was asked about the memorable trash-talking incident between the Warriors superstar...
NY Post (Brian Lewis) —
The Knicks added 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard Kadeem Allen on Wednesday. He logged 107 minutes over 18 games last season for the Celtics, but averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, five assists and 2.2 steals in 34 games for their G-League squad in Maine. The addition gives the Knicks 17 players under contract, discounting the two-ways. The...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
The timing of Kristaps Porzingis’ return to the court remains unclear, but the Knicks star is promising last season’s ACL tear won’t be on his mind. As he continues his rehab process overseas — with new Knicks coach David Fizdale visiting him in Latvia this week — Porzingis is focused on the mental side of...
NY Post (Post Staff Report) —
Enes Kanter is dreaming big — which, for the Knicks, means dreaming long range. The Knicks’ 6-foot-11 center said Monday that he believes his sad-sack team has a “really, really high chance’’ of signing both Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler when the pair of free-agents-to-be hit the market in 2019. Asked by Fox Sports 1’s...
NY Post (Brian Lewis) —
The Knicks on Tuesday took another low-risk flier on a former high draft pick, signing big man Noah Vonleh. Vonleh averaged 4.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 16.2 minutes over 54 games last season, split between the Trail Blazers and Bulls. His one-year signing, the terms of which were not disclosed, was first reported by...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Walt Frazier said the Knicks should become part of one of the NBA’s biggest problems. Because Kristaps Porzingis is still rehabbing from a torn ACL and expected to miss at least a significant amount of next season, Frazier said the Knicks would be in a far better position to contend in the future if the...
NY Post (Post Sports Desk) —
The Lakers again were tempted to add to LeBron James’ cast of characters. Los Angeles agreed to a deal with former Knicks forward Michael Beasley on Friday, showing their continued push to assemble a veteran core around James, who signed as a free agent July 1. Beasley reached terms on a one-year, $3.5 million deal...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks’ decision to waive small forward Troy Williams on Monday has provided undrafted Arizona guard Allonzo Trier a puncher’s chance at making the 15-man roster following his solid — if overlooked — summer-league performance. Trier is on a two-way G-League contract, allowing him to be on the Knicks’ roster for a maximum of 45...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
Knicks fans should be thrilled the organization’s higher-ups didn’t listen to them. On draft night, they were chanting for the Knicks to draft Michael Porter Jr., who was at one point considered the top prospect in his class before dealing with health concerns over his bad back. Instead, the Knicks took Kentucky wing Kevin Knox...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Kevin Knox planned to attend the ESPYs in Los Angeles on Wednesday, but a star was born in Las Vegas last week. And it didn’t surprise his father, Kevin Knox Sr., a former NFL wide receiver whose quarterback at Florida State was ex-Knick Charlie Ward. The 18-year-old Knox, the Knicks’ lottery pick out of Kentucky,...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
May 5 passed without ceremony a few months back, passed without pause, and that was probably for the best. The Yankees beat the Indians that day, and the Mets lost to the Rockies that night. The Devils, the only one of five New York area winter teams to make the playoffs this year, were already...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Spurs’ decision to ship Kawhi Leonard to Canada stands as good news for the Knicks. While the Knicks were on the outside looking in on Leonard trade talks with San Antonio — even if they tried, they couldn’t match the Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan package — their chances of landing a top-notch free agent in...
NY Post (Fred Kerber) —
The Knicks and their fans only hope it continues when it counts. In his opening act, Knicks lottery pick Kevin Knox provided hope — and 21.3 points a game — and as a result landed on the first team of the All-NBA Summer League teams. Behind Knox’s athleticism, the Knicks finished the competition in Las...
NY Post (Fred Kerber) —
OK, the Knicks are ready to start the season. At least numerically. The Knicks waived 6-7 forward Troy Williams on Monday, and the move brought them down to 15 players under contract plus a pair of two-way contract players, the maximum allowed for Opening Night. Williams, 23, joined the Knicks last season on the first...
