New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
LOS ANGELES — Doc Rivers had made no secret about his love of Kristaps Porzingis, who once tweeted “LA Clippers” with three smiling emojis. But the Clippers coach said Knicks brass did the right thing in its blockbuster trade on Jan. 31. In addition to cap space, the Knicks inherited one of Rivers’ favorite players...

LOS ANGELES — New Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. doesn’t want the perception he’s a junk-food maven. Obtained in the Kristaps Porzingis blockbuster, the 21-year-old from North Carolina State just needed a tweak. This past week, Smith went food shopping with Erika Whitmore, the Knicks sports dietician. A week ago, coach David Fizdale sat...

Rookie Knicks center Mitchell Robinson blocked out some time for a shot at a Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby. Q: Whose shot would you want to block in today’s game that you haven’t blocked yet? A: [Steph] Curry. … He’s shooting that thing from anywhere. If I can get a piece of that, I’d...

LOS ANGELES — The Knicks face the Clippers twice in their final 20 games, starting with Sunday’s matinee at Staples Center. The third battle, though, will be lots more important — the clash for Kevin Durant. Much like the Knicks, the Clippers executed a trade-deadline deal to clear cap space for nearly two max players....

Rookie walls are like unicorns to Allonzo Trier. They don’t exist. “That’s like a fairy tale,’’ Trier said. “A myth to me.’’ The undrafted rookie fell into a deep tailspin after he signed a fresh two-year contract in mid-December, but he has since resuscitated his season. In his past six games, the 23-year-old Trier has...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks veteran center DeAndre Jordan introduced rookie Mitchell Robinson to his old Clippers mentor Marcus Camby late Thursday in the Knicks’ locker room. It was the lone positive to come out of Thursday night’s late-game collapse against Cleveland. Camby , the ex-Knick shot-blocking center who starred on their 1999 Finals team and returned as a...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Every so often, we need to re-establish the parameters of what’s allowable and what’s not, what’s acceptable and what’s not, what’s excusable and what’s not, what’s permissible and what’s not. These are the lousy rules of tanking, and if you are still committed to them 20 games from the end of this endless season …...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
For the second straight game, Mitchell Robinson looked like the first-round pick, Allonzo Trier looked like the second-round pick and Kevin Knox looked like the undrafted rookie. With the Knicks folding down the stretch against the Cavaliers, 125-118, blowing a nine-point lead in the final five minutes, it was another big struggle for a foul-plagued...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
David Fizdale’s tank machine is back. The Knicks blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter as the Cavaliers stole a 125-118 victory Thursday at the Garden. In collapsing famously as they have done so many times this season, the Knicks ended their two-game winning streak — both victories at the Garden. It looked like...

Knicks injured point guard Frank Ntilikina hasn’t ruled out making his return during the Knicks’ three-game Western trip that begins Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Clippers. Ntilkina has been out with a groin strain since Jan. 28, and still hasn’t played with new point guard Dennis Smith Jr. The Knicks fly to Los Angeles...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Henry Ellenson’s breakout night Tuesday in the comeback victory over the Magic has already paid off. The Post reported before his bust-out Tuesday game the 6-11 power forward would sign another contract Friday when his 10-day is up. The Post has confirmed ESPN’s report Thursday that the new plan is for the contract to be...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
David Fizdale understands. He gets Knicks fans’ desire to secure the best possible odds to land the best possible prospect. Who wouldn’t want Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett or Ja Morant? But it’s not going to change anything about how he coaches his team. “I’m not wired to lose on purpose,” Fizdale said Wednesday. “That just...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
David Fizdale’s first 15 years an NBA coach resulted in nine playoff berths and two NBA titles. His one full year as an NBA head coach led to the postseason. He isn’t used to losing, certainly not to the extent he has as the Knicks’ first-year head coach. He’s not used to having a roster...
