While Team USA remains the favorite to win the FIBA World Cup, the odds of a Knick helping defend the back-to-back titles just got slimmer. Due to a family matter, Julius Randle withdrew from the team’s training camp roster a day before practices began Sunday in Las Vegas, USA Basketball announced. The Knicks’ top free-agent...

The Knicks got grinched. The Nets didn’t get the present yet. The NBA’s slate of nationally televised Christmas Day games in 2019 was revealed Friday, and both the Knicks — a staple of the annual quintuple-header in recent years — and the new-look Nets will be absent. According to multiple reports, the headliner features the...

RJ Barrett won’t take the court until the preseason. The Knicks’ highly touted draft pick pulled out of the FIBA World Cup, where he was set to play for the Canadian national team, because of the mild calf strain he sustained during Summer League, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Barrett’s Summer League performance drew...

Stuck in the doldrums for years, the Nets were essentially banished from national TV games, much less being holiday headliners. But with Brooklyn having added Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan and – eventually – Kevin Durant, at least some Nets are eyeing a Christmas Day game, the brightest limelight the league has to offer. “When does...

Jeremy Lin is a long way from Linsanity. As a matter of fact, he’s sounding a lot closer to the end of his NBA career than its peak. The 30-year-old, who was once a phenomenon with the Knicks, and later had two injury-riddled seasons across the East River with the Nets, is coming to grips...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
In case you don’t recall, the Knicks entered July with nine free agents of their own. Once the club got spurned early by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Knicks owner James Dolan’s crew had $74.8 million to throw around ($70 million in cap space plus the $4.8 million room exception). It is telling that none...

None of the oddsmakers envision the Knicks reaching 30 victories. Many of the Over/Under victory lines are trickling in for the 2019-20 season, and the Knicks aren’t viewed as playoff material. Westgate SuperBook will release its figures Sunday and will have the Knicks’ Over/Under for wins at 28.5. The Kyrie Irving/Kevin Durant Nets will come...

Bobby Portis has no pretensions he will start this season at center over 21-year-old phenom Mitchell Robinson. Portis, the 6-foot-11 big man who signed a two-year, $31 million deal with the Knicks earlier this month, has designs on a different goal — to be the leader of what he feels will be a top-notch bench....

An ex-Knick has found a new home, and he didn’t have to go very far. Point guard Trey Burke signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on a one-year, veteran minimum deal, according to The Athletic. Burke, 26, averaged 11.8 points and 2.8 assists in 33 games with the Knicks last year before he was sent to...

Reggie Bullock may not see the basketball court until next year. According to a leading orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports back injuries, the “cervical disk herniation” surgery Bullock underwent last week normally requires six months of recovery time before a player can compete with contact. The operation is usually referred to as spinal fusion...

Knicks fans went into the draft lottery this spring pining for Zion Williamson and came out of the draft instead with his Duke teammate, R.J. Barrett, who is going to have plenty of eyes on his play and pressure on his shoulders. Trae Young can relate. Better than most. Young — at the NBPA/Five-Star Camp...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
The Knicks may get to see their biggest free-agent addition of the offseason in red, white and blue before he’s in orange, white and blue. Julius Randle has been added to USA Basketball’s training camp roster for the upcoming FIBA World Cup, The Athletic reported Tuesday. Several top players have withdrawn from the roster in...

The saga of Marcus Morris’ free agency was so strange that it almost had to have ended with him signing with the Knicks. Morris turned down $41 million for three years with the Clippers before agreeing to two years and $20 million with the Spurs. He then went back on that and signed in New...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Keith Smart and Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. have been summer shooting pals for six weeks, in three cities, for countless hours. And it started in a chair. The Knicks assistant coach warned Smith the process would be “tedious.” It’s been all of that — and the alliance may turn so successful, the shape...

Center Mitchell Robinson may have someone to compete with for most blocks in training camp. Oregon power forward Kenneth Wooten, the 6-foot-9 leaper who impressed during the Las Vegas Summer League, has agreed to terms on an Exhibit 10 contract to attend Knicks training camp and fight for a roster spot, The Post has learned....
