Guess who’s back? Back again. Fans are back. Tell your friends. It’s been a long year, but Knicks fans can rejoice. There will be 2,000 fans back at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday for the first time since March 8. While it’s only 10 percent capacity, 2,000 people can still make some noise and bring...

Not everyone saves their report cards from school, but Knicks rookie Immanuel Quickley is keeping one of his draft-night grades as motivation. The Knicks’ selection of Quickley – who some scouts projected as a potential second-rounder – out of Kentucky with the 25th pick in the 2020 draft received a D+ score from CBS Sports....
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
On the eve of the Knicks’ home opener in December, swingman RJ Barrett put a positive spin on playing at a fan-less Garden. The No. 3 pick in the 2019 draft figured sometimes Knicks opponents got up to play before a Garden crowd and it had an adverse affect. “Actually having no fans might be...

Mark Cuban isn’t happy with Kristaps Porzingis’ trade reports. The Mavericks owner told the Dallas Morning News that a Bleacher Report story claiming the Mavericks have “quietly gauged the trade market” for Porzingis are “not accurate.” “They’ve definitely sniffed around on him,” an NBA assistant general manager told Bleacher Report....
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Really, we’ve been waiting for a night like Tuesday night ever since we became a two-basketball-team town again eight years ago. We’ve logged so many years in basketball purgatory, watched too much bad ball, seen too many players who were just passing through on their journeyman’s itinerary. For as long as we still believe we...

Julius Randle should find out shortly before Tuesday’s fan-attended game at the Garden whether he will play an extra game this season among the NBA’s elite. The league will announce its All-Star reserves on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on TNT, and Randle remains in consideration — but is no lock — to be one of...

Roughly 2,000 Knicks fans will be in attendance at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night for the first time in 352 days since the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown began last March, and an emotional Anthony Donahue will be among them. Donahue, a season-ticket holder for nearly 20 years and a hardcore Knicks fan since he was...

Taj Gibson has played sparingly since re-signing with the Knicks in January, but the veteran big man provided the Knicks a defensive lift Sunday night at the Garden. With starting center Mitchell Robinson sidelined following hand surgery and replacement Nerlens Noel fouled out, Gibson was matched against All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns and came up...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
This was the final night of fake noise at the Garden. And this was also the final night of no Garden boos. The sound of artificial cheers pumped in by the building’s entertainment staff for 14 Garden games will be replaced by real live voices Tuesday vs. the Warriors. Now those live voices can cheer...

Fans finally will return to the Garden in limited numbers beginning Tuesday, two nights after the Knicks barely pulled out an emotional win in their final game in front of an empty arena. Tom Thibodeau’s team flushed a 21-point second-half lead, but it ultimately gave him the gift of a victory in his first game...

With the NBA scaling down its All-Star weekend to a single day this year due to COVID-19, the traditional Rising Stars showcase involving the league’s top rookies and sophomores will not be part of the festivities. That means Knicks point guard Immanuel Quickley and other impressive young players won’t get to participate ahead of the...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Julius Randle believes playing in New York is the toughest room to win over in the NBA. And he admits vindication after being viewed in a negative light as the Knicks went 21-45 last season — his first with the club. Randle said he had always improved each season — until 2019-20. “I felt like...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Injured center Mitchell Robinson can’t even guess when he’ll return to the Knicks. He realizes he has to stay patient. In his first comments since breaking his right hand during a game Feb. 12 at Washington, Robinson sounded like he’s at least coming along after surgery last week to repair the fracture. The Knicks have...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has enjoyed three days to prepare for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves — and that’s not bad news for Minnesota. If this game isn’t Thibodeau’s Super Bowl Sunday, it’s close to it. The first-year Knicks coach doesn’t need a victory over that woebegone franchise Sunday to be vindicated in what will...
NY Post (Rich Calder) —
They’re the hottest — and only — tickets in town! Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center are welcoming fans back this week for the first time in nearly a year, since the COVID-19 pandemic turned pro sports upside down. Both venues are offering a limited inventory of tickets, already commanding prices as high as as...
