New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Jake Brown) —
The Knicks are finally fun again! It’s been for the most part a tumultuous two decades for this franchise, outside of a few seasons with Carmelo Anthony. There’s been a ton of losing, off-the-court drama, dysfunction and everything in between. That’s changed with Tom Thibodeau’s squad this season. You have to mark on your calendar...

With Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that New York arenas are allowed to welcome fans at 10 percent capacity at the end of this month, Madison Square Garden released more-detailed guidelines for health and safety protocols on Tuesday. Season ticket-holders for the Rangers will be allowed to begin purchasing tickets for “socially distanced seating pods” to...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
The San Antonio Spurs’ pandemic outbreak has caused the first postponement of the season for the Knicks. The NBA announced Tuesday that the Spurs’ next three games – including Saturday’s visit to the Garden – and the Charlotte Hornets’ next two games have been postponed in accordance with the league’s health and safety protocols. The...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks were already missing center Mitchell Robinson, who may undergo hand surgery this week. Their new starting center Nerlens Noel picked up three early fouls. Backup center Taj Gibson got tagged with four fouls in the second quarter. Atlanta took 25 free throws in the first half. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau went briefly with...

In a sports-movie world, this is the kind of thing that carries the day: teammates who are also friends, camaraderie that overcomes all obstacles. That is the goose-bump realm of team sports. For 50 years Knicks fans have treated four words — hit-the-open-man — like the holiest of gospels and that’s the ideal. All for...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Atlanta’s John Collins was at the Garden on Monday night and on the trade block. Collins, selected 19th overall in 2017, is a new-age, sweet-shooting power forward/center at 6-foot-9. The Knicks are seemingly well-stocked at power forward with potential All-Star Julius Randle and their 2020 lottery pick Obi Toppin. The Knicks have not yet inquired...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Julius Randle hurt the Hawks on Monday night and is paving his way to Atlanta on March 7, the scheduled date of the All-Star Game. Randle posted his Knicks-high 44 points, setting a career-high with 7 3-pointers as the Knicks won their third straight Monday, 123-112, over the Hawks at the fanless Garden. Randle racked...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
You never really know how these things are going to go. You can have a good feeling about them: Tom Thibodeau surely did. From the start, from the moment it was clear that his old star, Derrick Rose, was going to hook up with him a third time, he believed in what he was getting....
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
New Knicks point guard Derrick Rose paid Obi Toppin a beautiful compliment Monday in saying the rookie power forward is “always in the right spot on the right time.’’ Indeed, Rose has unleashed Toppin for some easy inside buckets since arriving three games ago. However, it’s hardly been perfect. In Saturday’s 121-99 rout over Houston,...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy has compared the drafting of Immanuel Quickley late in the first round to the selection of Charlie Ward. Both, Van Gundy said, are point-guard steals. Ward was taken 26th in the 1994 draft. Twenty-six years later, Quickley was snared at 25. Different players, but Van Gundy’s point is teams...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
Linsanity has hit the G League bubble. Jeremy Lin turned back the clock and drained seven 3-pointers Saturday night in his third game with the Santa Cruz Warriors since returning from playing in China to chase an NBA comeback. The former Knicks star finished with 29 points and nine assists in a 124-116 win over...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks didn’t miss a beat Saturday with Nerlens Noel playing 33 minutes as their new starting center and Mitchell Robinson sitting on the sidelines in a white shirt and white cast. Noel has quietly served as Robinson’s serviceable backup, notching two blocks a game, which ranked sixth in the NBA entering Saturday. Now the...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Derrick Rose enjoyed his third straight impactful game Saturday with the Knicks since he was acquired last weekend from Detroit. Before scoring 16 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over Houston, Rose stayed up late the previous night studying videos with assistant coach Andy Greer at the team’s Westchester training facility...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Mitchell who? Nerlens Noel did a fine approximation of injured Knicks center Mitchell Robinson. Immanuel Quickley made fellow Kentucky Wildcat John Wall even prouder, hitting his first six shots and hitting big 3-pointers in the second half when the Rockets were rallying. Quickley finished with a spectacular 22 points, draining seven of nine shots —...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
A costly weekend due to Mitchell Robinson’s injury still resulted in two important wins against undermanned opponents for the Knicks. Immanuel Quickley connected on four 3-pointers and scored 22 points — while replacement centers Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson played well in the first game without Robinson — as the Knicks’ depth led them to...
