Trey Burke’s phone started buzzing, and all those March memories starting flooding back, the big shot he hit in the Sweet 16 five years ago to propel Michigan to overtime against Kansas, and eventually the Final Four. Everyone was asking the Knicks guard, out to dinner following a win over the Hornets, if he saw...

Jeff Hornacek wasn’t concerned about the photo circulating online of Kristaps Porzingis shooting in the gym at his Manhattan apartment building just over a month removed from major knee surgery. “Technically I don’t know what he’s allowed to do from the doctors. Once you have a surgery like that — I had not that extensive...

Remember this night come May 15. If the Knicks finish behind the Bulls in the NBA draft lottery and lose out on a coveted player as a result, it could be costly. Monday night’s 110-92 victory at the Garden, the Knicks’ second straight after losing 17 of their previous 18, dropped them to 1 ¹/₂...

NBA commissioner Adam Silver may want to take the subway from his NBA offices for a celebrity-row perch Monday when the Bulls visit the Garden for the “Tank Bowl.” It’s some of the little suspense left in another melancholy Knicks season as they “battle’’ the Bulls for the eighth and ninth lottery seeds. Finishing with...

It is rare to see Frank Ntilikina get riled up. But after the reserved Knicks point guard scored his NBA-high 15 points in Saturday’s streak-busting Garden rout of Charlotte, the Frenchman didn’t like to hear Jeff Hornacek’s concern about his defensive matchups the past two games. According to Hornacek, he gave Ntilikina limited minutes against...

Enes Kanter ranted and raved all week about tanking, that developing guys should be saved for the G-League. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek questioned his players Friday on whether they were accepting losing too easily. The Knicks finally did something about it as they notched their first victory in March, snapped a nine-game losing streak, an...

Hornets coach Steve Clifford gave a candid scouting report of his center, Willy Hernangomez, who seems to appreciate the brutal honesty coming from his new taskmaster. With Hernangomez ready to face the Knicks on Saturday at the Garden, Kristaps Porzingis’ best buddy hasn’t seen a jump in playing time since the trade. Clifford explained in...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks’ starting backcourt situation is up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Hornets. Will Trey Burke finally get his first start? Or will Jarrett Jack resurface? “Kind of everything is on the table,’’ coach Jeff Hornacek said. Indeed, the point-guard derby could face another shakeup. “That’s what we’re trying to figure out:...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
While Enes Kanter continued to lobby for the Knicks to “develop guys in the G-League” and not in the NBA, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek sounded conflicted, too, especially with an uncertain future. With the Knicks losing 17 of their past 18 games, Hornacek challenged players at Friday’s practice on whether they “hate to lose.” While...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
When Enes Kanter arrived in the Carmelo Anthony trade, the status of Willy Hernangomez as a chief Knicks building block became unhinged. After not being in the rotation all season, the 23-year-old Spaniard was shipped to Charlotte for two distant second-round picks. As Hernangomez readies for his Garden return Saturday, when the Hornets hit town,...

Under the development strategy devised by first-year executive Craig Robinson, the Knicks have a new motto: “Trust The Practice.’’ As the season continued down the drain Thursday, when the Knicks blew a 13-point second-half lead in a 118-110 defeat to the “Trust The Process’’ 76ers, at least they can still say they are winning the...
NY Post (Jonathan Lehman) —
It’s all part of the Process. The Knicks, in the role of perennially rebuilding lottery jockey, ultimately were fodder for the playoff-bound 76ers in a 118-110 loss Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. It was the Knicks’ ninth straight loss and 17th in their past 18 games. Were the Bulls to win in Memphis later...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Former Knicks starting point guard Jarrett Jack could be on a playoff team now, gearing up for the postseason in a winning environment. Instead, he’s ready to absorb his 10th straight DNP when the tanking Knicks host the 76ers on Thursday at the Garden to continue their five-game homestand. Jack revealed two playoff-contending teams offered...
NY Post (Fred Kerber) —
There is a four-letter word Knicks center Enes Kanter despises. Tank. And he hates it almost as much as a three-letter word. Sit. Kanter wants to play. He wants to win and believes development of young players can and should come at a lower level. “I’m frustrated by losing, for sure. But I came here...
NY Post (Steve Serby) —
PITTSBURGH — New York Knicks, we are talking to you: As many as five lottery picks could be on display at PPG Paints Arena when March Madness begins here Thursday with Oklahoma-Rhode Island. Tanks for nothing? No, tanks for something. Marvin Bagley III (Duke) is the cream of the crop here, but any of the...
