New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Kevin Durant is blaming local media for his impending free agency becoming a national story. In explaining last week’s tirade at a postgame press conference, the Warriors forward said he believes team beat writers have gone “behind [his] back,” by writing that the Knicks’ trade of Kristaps Porzingis may foreshadow the two-time NBA Finals MVP...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Quicken Loans Arena hosted a raft of big playoff games across the past four years. Now it will stage the “Zion Bowl’’ when the Knicks invade Cleveland for Monday’s encounter between the teams with two of the NBA’s worst records. The Knicks, at 10-45, have been dead last for two weeks, but a victory Monday...

Former Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek broke his silence — and didn’t have much to say. “We felt like we were on the right path,” Hornacek said on ESPN. “It felt a little like unfinished business for us. But that’s the NBA.” After winning in Cleveland in the season finale last April, Hornacek was fired by...

The Kristaps Porzingis blockbuster wasn’t cheered by all, especially not by rookie Kevin Knox. It was a double whammy for Knox. The Knicks lottery pick saw a bright future with Porzingis as a forward tandem. And in the short term, Knox lost his top mentor, veteran Courtney Lee, who had taken the 19-year-old under his...

New Knicks starting center DeAndre Jordan has mastered the art of rebounding, blocking shots and deadpan. “I hate Kevin Durant,” Jordan said late Saturday night. “I just don’t like him. Terrible guy.’’ After the Knicks’ 16th straight loss, Jordan was responding to a question about his well-known relationship with Durant. When The Post asked him...

Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard, one of the prime superstar free agents the Knicks plan to chase, hasn’t committed to Toronto but didn’t expand on his July plans other than hinting he may have options. Leonard has a local tie — his uncle is from South Orange, N.J., where he spent part of last season holed...

The Knicks plan to sign sharpshooter John Jenkins to a 10-day contract Sunday, according to a source. Jenkins, a shooting guard who played most of the season with the Westchester Knicks, will complete his 10-day contract Sunday with the Wizards.

NY Post (Marc Berman) —
You can knock the 10-45 Knicks on a lot of stuff as they tied the longest losing streak in franchise history Saturday at 16 with a 104-99 Garden loss to Kawhi Leonard’s Raptors. But don’t knock them on their uncanny ability to pack the Garden, nor their due diligence regarding Kristaps Porzingis’ trade value. Knicks...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
The misery was forgotten. The duty of playing out the 82-game string was replaced with the excitement of actual play. A franchise focused on the offseason was trading blows with a team built to win an NBA title. The Garden was rocking. And a win didn’t feel like blasphemy. Of course, the Knicks wouldn’t come...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Kadeem Allen watched the Knicks on his nights off and saw situations where he could contribute. He knew he belonged in the NBA. And he knew he only had himself to blame for not being there. At the start of his second pro season — and first with the Knicks — the 26-year-old arrived to...
NY Post (Joseph Staszewski) —
Kevin Durant was first again – and he wasn’t surprised. For the second straight year team captain LeBron James made the Warriors star the first pick for his All-Star Game squad. Durant didn’t see any other way from James to go. “What else is he supposed to do?” Durant told reporters after Golden State beat...

DETROIT — Knicks coach David Fizdale didn’t wear a tie as his tank machine rolled into Motor City on Friday. By April, Fizdale may be on the sidelines in a “tank” top and shorts — pun intended. New point guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored a career-high 31 points and added eight assists, but the Knicks...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
Danny Ainge compared the Kyrie Irving situation to an “engagement,” and nothing has changed in his eyes. The Celtics’ president of basketball operations just better hope there isn’t a “Runaway Bride” situation afoot. “The way I viewed the situation is that I think a lot of people, because of Kyrie’s announcement at the beginning of...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
DETROIT – With Thursday’s trade deadline passing with no more deals, The Frank & Dennis Show will air soon after the All-Star break. And Frank Ntilikina can’t wait. In his first comments since going down with a groin strain on Jan. 27 vs. Miami, Ntilikina expressed genuine enthusiasm to have second-year point guard Dennis Smith...
