One game after baiting Washington’s Markieff Morris into an ejection, Knicks rookie center Mitchell Robinson was forced to leave early, suffering a sprained right ankle early in the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 107-102 victory over the Nets at Barclays Center on Wednesday.

The best rookie on the floor wasn’t Kevin Knox or Mitchell Robinson or even the Nets’ first-rounder, Dzanan Musak, who didn’t see the floor. It became undrafted Allonzo Trier, the 6-5 Arizona shooting guard who lit up Brooklyn for 20 first-half points in 16 minutes and made major headway in eventually landing a regular roster...

David Fizdale didn’t think Markieff Morris had it right when he called Knicks center Mitchell Robinson “a stupid-ass rookie’’ after the Wizards forward was ejected in the preseason opener Monday in Washington. The Knicks coach defended Robinson, whom Morris claimed said something that crossed the line when they were alongside each other during free throws....

Though the Knicks were largely ignored in the dozens of categories of the NBA GM survey, rookie Kevin Knox and Kristaps Porzingis got some props.

Mario Hezonja was ticked at himself — not coach David Fizdale for not starting him in Monday’s preseason opener. The Croatian combo forward wears his emotions on his sleeve. Though his Knicks preseason debut was decent enough, coming off the bench for Lance Thomas at power forward, the 2018 free-agent signee said he was “pissed...

The Knicks went 3-for-3 in Washington D.C. during their preseason opener. Not from the field — but with their rookie showings, and that is what general manager Scott Perry’s 2018-19 vision is mostly about after running his first draft as chief operator. Kevin Knox, Mitchell Robinson and Allonzo Trier all excelled in different ways. Knox,...

WASHINGTON – If this season is to be judged on how the rookies fare, mark the Knicks’ first preseason game as promising.

WASHINGTON — Knicks coach David Fizdale announced his starting lineup for the preseason opener against the Wizards on Monday, and the lone surprise was last year’s captain, Lance Thomas, securing the power-forward position over newly signed Mario Hezonja.

They are the words any player loves to hear: shoot more. New Knicks wing Mario Hezonja officially has received that directive from coach David Fizdale. “I wish he’d be a little more greedy about letting the 3-ball go, which I’m going to be hammering on him,” Fizdale said after practice Sunday. “When he’s open, he’s...

If David Fizdale had his way, the Knicks would not be playing a game Monday night. “Coaches want to practice 100 times more before you get to the game,” the Knicks coach said.
