NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Tim Hardaway Jr.’s contract doesn’t look any better yet. Two games into his second stint with the Knicks, Hardaway already is struggling to carry the weight of his four-year, $71 million contract. In his return to Madison Square Garden, the team’s biggest free-agent acquisition became no more popular with the skeptical fanbase, hitting just 4-of-16...

Throughout the summer, the Knicks spoke of their impending rebuilding around a core of young players — draft-pick point guard Frank Ntilikina, athletic free agent Tim Hardaway Jr., All-Rookie Team center Willy Hernangomez and New York’s favorite unicorn, Kristaps Porzingis. Finally, the rebuilt squad was ready for its home unveiling Saturday as the Knicks, after...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks likely will find a lot of ways to lose this season. In their home opener, they decided to tease the sellout Garden crowd by taking a 21-point lead late in the second quarter and dominating the half before blowing all of it. In their first home opener without Carmelo Anthony since 2010, the...

While Knicks fans are frustrated with rookie Frank Ntilikina’s fragility, Jeff Hornacek continues to see good signs well beyond the spate of injuries. After a rough, scoreless, seven-minute NBA debut Thursday in Oklahoma City, Ntilikina’s status for the home opener Saturday vs. Detroit was in doubt because of a sprained ankle suffered at practice Friday....

After Willy Hernangomez made the All-Rookie first team last year, there were high expectations for the Knicks big man entering this season. But in a crowded frontcourt, the 23-year-old still is competing to see the floor at all. During the season-opening loss Thursday at Oklahoma City, Hernangomez checked in during garbage time, logging four total...

The face of the Knicks is ready. Ready to take the big stage under the bright lights at Madison Square Garden. Ready to meet his exuberant fan base for the first time this season. Ready to keep shouldering the load. “I’m excited,” 22-year-old Kristaps Porizingis said of the home opener Saturday against the Pistons. “The...

Knicks practice took a turn for the worst on Friday, when rookie guard Frank Ntilikina went down with an apparent ankle injury. During a competitive game of 4-on-4, Ntilikina hobbled off the floor before going to the ground, clutching his left ankle. The Frenchmen was clearly in a lot of pain and stayed down for...

OKLAHOMA CITY – Carmelo Anthony said the “chapter is closed’’ on his Knicks’ stint with Thursday’s 105-84 victory. However, there may be one more page – Dec. 16 when Anthony and the Thunder visit the Garden for the first time since the trade. Always a lightning rod, the Garden reaction to Anthony’s return will be...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Knicks point-guard dilemma looked as bad as advertised in the season opener, a 105-84 loss to the Thunder and Carmelo Anthony. Neither Ramon Sessions, Ron Baker nor French rookie Frank Ntilikina could do a thing. In Ntilikina’s case, it was understandable. After missing summer league, Ntilikina missed the final four preseason games...
NY Post (Fred Kerber) —
OKLAHOMA CITY — At the ripe old grizzled age of 22, Kristaps Porzingis already has played — endured? — two Knicks seasons in New York. He became many things to Knicks fans because of his 7-foot-3 length, perimeter shooting skills and explosiveness at the rim. The Future. The Hope. The Cornerstone. But no matter what...

OKLAHOMA CITY — Less than one game-time minute had passed and Carmelo Anthony accepted a Russell Westbrook pass on the right side and launched an open 3-pointer. The Thunder were up on the Knicks, 3-0. “It felt good,” Anthony said. “I was actually surprised the first shot was that wide open. Glad it went in...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
OKLAHOMA CITY — Center Willy Hernangomez, the young building block who was a first-team All-Rookie selection, found himself out of the rotation in the season opener Thursday versus the Thunder. As expected Enes Kanter started and Kyle O’Quinn got 22 minutes as the backup. With 3:46 left, Hernangomez was put in during garbage time of...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kristaps Porzingis bested Carmelo Anthony, but that was the only thing that went right for the Knicks. Anthony didn’t have a very good performance in the first game of his new life, but he had a very good cast, led by Russell Westbrook’s triple-double (21 points, 16 assists, 10 rebounds). Porzingis outplayed...
NY Post (Carleton English) —
The Knicks and Rangers aren’t the only franchises at Madison Square Garden not playing up to their potential, one Wall Street investor said Thursday. The Garden itself is underperforming — and James Dolan should take decisive action to bring full value to shareholders, according to Samantha Greenberg of the Margate Capital hedge fund. Greenberg, speaking...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kristaps Porzingis has lofty individual goals that go beyond making his first All-Star Game — which he made known over the summer. In an interview with the Players Tribune, Porzingis listed two other honors in his sights — one likely unreachable considering his defensive rebounding numbers. “As far as individual goals …...
