NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Three-game message sent. Knicks coach David Fizdale gave all indications Frank Ntilikina is no longer French toast. After benching him for three straight games, including letting him sit during Thursday’s nationally televised 128-100 loss in Boston, it looks as if the 2017 lottery pick will be back in the mix when the Knicks host a...

Mario Hezonja’s starting small forward stretch, which has reached nine games, has been what you’d least expect — all defense, no offense. “Super Mario can pass, defend, rebound, too,’’ Hezonzja cracked. “Super Mario’s not just, ‘Hey, damn he scored, he’s so good,’ or, ‘Oh he didn’t score, he’s so bad.’” It’s been a slight mystery...

BOSTON – The Celtics are starting to get it together and also have good memories. Thursday night’s game stood to be a dicey challenge for David Fizdale’s baby Knicks, making their TNT season debut. “It’s definitely a game that I remember, so as a competitor I can’t wait to play,” Kyrie Irving said before the...

BOSTON — Lance Thomas’ return to action is imminent. Thomas, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Nov. 9, looked very active during Thursday’s morning shootaround at TD Garden, and Knicks coach David Fizdale indicated he is close to being back in the mix. The longest-tenured Knick, Thomas began the season as starting power forward, but his...

BOSTON — Up in the land of Kyrie, Knicks coach David Fizdale gave his strongest case yet that the Knicks have become an attractive free-agent destination after 25 games on the job. The Knicks are closing in on having cap space for a maximum salary this summer but have work to do. Celtics point guard...

Are the Boston Celtics finally getting things figured out? Big question for sports bettors heading into Thursday night’s battle between Boston and the New York Knicks (TNT, 8:05 p.m.). One of the giveaways through the first third of the season that Boston HADN’T figured things out was that it looked so bad against the Knicks!...

BOSTON — Thursday marks 10 months since Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis tore his ACL in a game versus Milwaukee, and Knicks coach David Fizdale gave no indication Wednesday the Latvian’s return to practice is imminent. Last season, then-Bucks forward Jabari Parker, returning from his second ACL injury, practiced for one month before suiting up. If...

BOSTON — Frank Ntilikina was the last one off the court at Knicks’ practice Wednesday in Tarrytown, N.Y., but wasn’t in his usual chill mood. When asked how he was holding up during these uncertain times, Ntilikina went back at the questioner. “You see now — how do I look?” “Fine?” went the response. “I’m...

While coach David Fizdale talks often about Tim Hardaway Jr. playing at an All-Star level, the Knicks shooting guard doesn’t believe he’s worthy of such an honor — at least not yet. Not until he gets the 8-17 Knicks winning again. “Growing up and watching games since my dad was playing, as far as I...

Grant Hill says he’s already been crushed by Knicks 6-foot-9 rookie forward Kevin Knox. “Duke wanted him badly — he was first on the radar, I heard from coaches,’’ Hill told The Post. “We were all heartbroken. He’s a really good kid, got a great skill set. But it has been a little up and...

The Feb. 3 Garden rematch between the Knicks and Memphis is no longer about David Fizdale versus Marc Gasol. It’s been replaced by Fizdale versus Joakim Noah. Gasol, who seemed to put his Fizdale feud behind him in the first Knicks-Memphis battle, and Noah should receive heavy Garden boos, especially Noah. The ex-Knicks center officially...

It is an almost incredible turn of events that the best Knicks prospect out of the 2017 draft has become second-round swingman Damyean Dotson — not lottery-pick point guard Frank Ntilikina. In the past three games, Dotson is averaging a team-high 18 points on 67.8 percent shooting — 71.4 percent from 3-point range — and...

When you watch a John Wall performance, you see all the point-guard possibilities that have been missing in New York for years. Wall didn’t shoot it so great until he had to — a game-sealing 3-pointer with 12 seconds left to go along with his 15 assists. The Wizards rallied with a third-quarter domination to...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Enes Kanter was accepted an apology from NBA Europe, but he didn’t sound too convincing. Kanter was livid at an NBA Europe Instagram promotional poster showing the NBA’s three Turkish players but not himself and called out the league on Twitter as “u scared little rats.’’ Kanter figured he was omitted because of his critical...

The Knicks couldn’t conjure up another final dose of magic Monday night against the Wizards. The All-Star guard duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal helped Washington transform an 11-point first-half hole into a 15-point cushion in the final minutes, before a another furious comeback bid by the Knicks fell short in a 110-107 loss...
