Like the rest of us non-sadists out there, Trey Burke didn’t want to watch Caris LeVert’s injury. There were enough warnings out there to know it was grotesque. Cringe-worthy. But LeVert is one of Burke’s closest friends – “like a little brother,” he said – and the Knicks point guard was still...

Well, that was embarrassing. If you thought the Jets stunk Sunday, get a load of the trash heap Knicks. They were smoked at home by the Magic, 115-89, a team that isn’t very good and was missing its best player. The Knicks were so bad they trailed by 20 points after the first quarter and were booed...

For one important Knick, Veteran’s Day hits close to home.
