NY Post (Peter Botte) —
The Knicks still haven’t fully committed to Frank Ntilikina’s return to the lineup. The second-year guard took part in a light practice Thursday at the team’s facility, but David Fizdale wasn’t ready to say Ntilikina would make his first appearance in nearly two months Friday night against Denver at the Garden. “We didn’t do a...

Knicks rookie Allonzo Trier will watch the first round of the NCAA Tournament — and Zion Williamson. But it may all bring back some tough memories of a year ago. Trier’s red-hot Arizona Wildcats were stunned, 89-68, in the first round last March by the mid-major University at Buffalo, a SUNY school. Trier, who scored...

Frank Ntilikina, the Knicks’ 2017 lottery pick, was held out again and the Westchester County product the franchise bypassed that year, Donovan Mitchell, lit up the Garden in his homecoming for 30 points in 29 minutes in a 137-116 rout by the Jazz on Wednesday night. As the Knicks began their six-game homestand disastrously, Ntilikina...

Hall of Fame finalist Tim Hardaway Sr. realizes his son likely would still be a Knick if Kristaps Porzingis had wanted part of David Fizdale’s program. The Jan. 29 trade left his son “disappointed’’ and the father surprised the 7-foot-3 Latvian didn’t want to play for Fizdale, whom Hardaway Sr. had known in Miami. While...

The season mercifully will be over soon, but first the Knicks will stage a six-game homestand that will determine whether they go down as the most dreadful team in franchise history. The Knicks (14-57) need to go 4-7 in their final 11 games to avoid the franchise record for futility. Derek Fisher’s 2014-15 club had...

Frank Ntilikina is on the verge of a ballyhooed return from his groin injury. The Knicks announced Ntilikina was cleared for practice and would train Tuesday with the G League Westchester Knicks.

TORONTO — Knicks center Mitchell Robinson tied Patrick Ewing’s rookie record of posting at least one block in 28 straight contests. But that mark got overshadowed when he fell onto Kyle Lowry in the third quarter, leaving the Raptors star point guard writhing on the ground, clutching his leg. After a replay review, Robinson was...

TORONTO — It was about 10 minutes in real time. Knicks coach David Fizdale hopes it lasts 10 years. After several foiled attempts, Fizdale got rookie Kevin Knox to huddle with LeBron James after the Knicks pulled out a 124-123 victory in the final seconds Sunday at the Garden. James went from hero to goat...

TORONTO — St. Patrick’s Day hero Mario Hezonja had one idea flash through his mind when LeBron James got the ball in the backcourt with 15 seconds left and the game on the line. The moment almost got to him. “I had a couple of thoughts,’’ Hezonja said. “Holy sh-t. I’m in the Garden in...

TORONTO — The Knicks got a little more than 24 hours to savor their last-second Sunday matinee victory over the Lakers before reality bit them in Canada. The Raptors don’t lose at home to the Atlantic Division. Especially not to the league-worst Knicks, even if the Raptors were without their best player, Kawhi Leonard. The...

Kevin Knox apparently had better things to do than be introduced to LeBron James after he helped lead the Knicks over the Lakers in a 124-123 stunner Sunday at the Garden. Knox’s parents and little brother were in town, and spending time with them was his top priority. The Knicks were flying to Toronto almost...

Fed-up Knicks fans looking to show off some emerald ire towards team owner James Dolan never had a chance Sunday, as Madison Square Garden security purportedly confiscated t-shirts reading “St. Patty Says Ban Dolan.” A Manhattan law firm looking to draw attention to free speech and immigration issues handed out 500 of the green, shamrock-festooned...
NY Post (George Willis) —
There was the warm embrace when LeBron James marched over to the Knicks bench and gave David Fizdale a tight hug just before the tipoff of Knicks-Lakers Sunday afternoon at the Garden. And there they were again in the bowels of the Garden chatting it up after the Knicks had claimed a 124-123 victory to...

LeBron James hasn’t won the season — and couldn’t even win the Garden on Sunday. After electrifying the place one more time in his first appearance in purple and gold on Broadway, James choked it away at the end, missing his last four shots and getting blocked by Mario Hezonja on a drive with 2...
