NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Kristaps Porzingis is back in New York, arriving from Latvia on Sunday, and ready to undergo further testing this week to give Knicks management a better idea on when he will make his season debut. Porzingis had left for Europe in mid-April to continue his rehab from knee surgery, and president Steve Mills had said...

The short, rocky marriage between Joakim Noah and the Knicks may be coming to an end sooner rather than later. The team is likely to cut ties with the oft-injured center before training camp begins later this month, according to a report by The Athletic. That report comes on the heels of a similar report...

Knicks fans will be hoping J.R. Smith wasn’t “high” when he made this comment. An Instagram photo posted by NiceKicks asked: “Kyrie Irving is the Knicks’ top target in 2019. What are the chances they sign him?” The Cavaliers guard responded: “HIGH.” Irving had the Knicks on a short list of teams he wanted the...

When Warriors superstar Kevin Durant played Oklahoma City for the first time early in the 2016-17 season, then-Thunder center Enes Kanter was the only former teammate to give Durant beef — trash-talking him from the bench. Now Kanter hopes Durant, a free agent in 2019, will forget the incident. The Knicks center will do everything...

Kevin Knox has already imagined what many view unlikely. The new Knicks wing isn’t looking at his rookie year as merely a developmental season. He’s thinking playoffs. “In the West, you need about 50 [wins],” Knox, the ninth pick in the draft out of Kentucky, said on ESPN’s “First Take” on Tuesday. “In the East,...
NY Post (Mark W. Sanchez) —
If the Knicks hoped publicly taking a shot at an “attention-grabbing gentleman” would shrink that attention, they were wrong. After a longtime Knicks fan announced he was auctioning off his NBA loyalty on eBay, so exasperated was he by rooting for the woebegone franchise, the Knicks released a statement to Bleacher Report that showed they...

Ex-NBA star Jimmy Jackson, in town to call Friday’s Big3 Finals at Barclays Center for FOX at 8 p.m., glowed about Knicks lottery pick, 6-foot-9 forward Kevin Knox. “He’s a bigger version of Devin Booker,’’ Jackson said. “He’s got all the same skills but he’s taller.” Jackson was referring to another Kentucky lottery pick who...
NY Post (Brian Lewis) —
The Knicks and Nets are both expected to be near the bottom of the standings and not overly competitive on the court, but at least they’re showing a little feistiness in their trash talk game. First, Brooklyn’s Latvian rookie Rodions Kurucs spoke in June about wanting to play against countryman Kristaps Porzingis and “beat his...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
We should all be having what David Fizdale is having. In a supremely optimistic TV interview from a Manhattan kids clinic Wednesday, the new Knicks coach said he “clicked” with Kristaps Porzingis, calling him “excited” about the team’s direction, adding all Knicks fans should be excited about what is growing at the Garden. “It’s already...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
Kevin Knox just got some love from his fellow rookies, but perhaps a few more chips for his shoulder, too. Knox’s dominant summer league appeared to impress his fellow rookies, but not enough to move to the top spot in any of the categories in a recent NBA.com survey of 36 rookies. The Knicks’ No....

Noah Vonleh may have be regarded as another lottery-pick disappointment on the Knicks’ roster, but the 6-foot-9, 245-pound power forward has one exceptional attribute he will bring to the Garden — rebounding. “To be in the NBA, you have to have an elite skill and do something really well,’’ Vonleh told The Post in his...

Knicks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. wasn’t in a pleasant mood the day former head coach Jeff Hornacek got canned after the season finale in mid-April, saying he couldn’t “wrap my thoughts around what management thinks.’’ Of course, Hardaway had no idea at the time that Hornacek’s successor would be an old familiar face from Miami:...

Kemba Walker got a new French point-guard teammate in Charlotte this summer in Tony Parker. Imagine the buzz next summer if Walker inherits another French point-guard teammate in Frank Ntilikina in New York. Walker, the fiery point guard out of The Bronx and UConn, lights up with a hard smile when he talks about how...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
Basketball in New York City figures to be mediocre again this season, but the two sides are trying to spice it up with some Twitter beef. Spencer Dinwiddie got the ball rolling Monday night, when he quoted a tweet that showed Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) predicting the Eastern Conference Finals would feature the...

Dzanan Musa, known as the Bosnian Scoring Machine, received an unexpected phone call after being drafted by the Nets with the second-to-last pick of the NBA draft’s first round in June. It was from the Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis. “He encouraged me to just go for it,’’ Musa told The Post on Sunday at the NBA’s...
