New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
Dennis Smith Jr., Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina may have more than each other to worry about. No, the Knicks aren’t making a trade for a point guard. But their top draft pick — RJ Barrett — could be another option to run the offense, at least in small doses. “I’ve thrown him at that...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
The Knicks are getting closer to whole at the right time. With the regular season just a week away, they are expected to get several rotation players back for their final two preseason games, against the Hawks Wednesday and Pelicans on Friday at the Garden. “For the most part we’re getting our roster healthy,” coach...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
So much of last season was spent pining over the numerous All-Stars heading to free agency. So much of the offseason was spent lamenting how hard the Knicks swung and how badly they missed on every name planned for the Madison Square Garden marquee. Julius Randle wasn’t the team’s first choice. He wasn’t where fans...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Dennis Smith Jr. and Damyean Dotson appear set to make their preseason debuts for the Knicks on Wednesday against the Hawks. Frank Ntilikina may not be able to join them. While Smith (strained lower back) and Dotson (shoulder) practiced fully for the second straight day, Ntilikina was held out of Monday’s session with a sore...

David Fizdale — and a roughly 117½-hour break between preseason games — won’t allow the Knicks to turn the page yet. Two days after suffering a 115-99 preseason home loss to the Wizards, Fizdale put his players through a lengthy film session, which included about 75 defensive clips. “We just had to own it,” Fizdale...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Now, the point-guard competition can truly begin. After missing the Knicks’ first two preseason games with a strained lower back, Dennis Smith Jr. was a full participant in Sunday’s practice and appears likely to return for the team’s next preseason game, Wednesday against the Hawks at Madison Square Garden. “He’s doing what he left off...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Ignas Brazdeikis, the Knicks’ second-round pick, showed plenty of dazzle in summer league in Las Vegas, averaging 15.4 points on 51 percent shooting, including a 30-point outing. He looked like a more efficient scorer than top pick RJ Barrett. But since training camp commenced, the Michigan man is finding Vegas in July is not the...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Taj Gibson said the Knicks got complacent. That was his best explanation after Friday’s horrific 115-99 preseason loss to the woeful Wizards in the first preseason game at the Garden. The Knicks had pummeled the same Wizards’ club Monday, but four days later were ransacked during a 41-17 second period. They allowed Washington to make...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Marcus Morris is cool with the NBA for deciding against taking any action on him for Monday’s Wizards’ incident but not so cool with Kevin Durant. In responding to Durant’s comment that the Knicks are no longer “a cool’’ place to play, Morris added to his anti-KD tweet from Thursday. “It’s me personally,’’ Morris said...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
That was so uncool. New Knicks enforcer Marcus Morris said the club would protect its home court this season, promising, “No one’s coming in there and disrespecting us.” That’s exactly what happened. The Knicks were “disrespected’’ on their home floor by the woeful Wizards in Friday’s home preseason opener, a 115-99 rout. They were outclassed...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
How many 50-17 runs do you think the 2003-04 Pistons allowed at home to close out a first half? One day after David Fizdale used that example of the selfless, starless and defensive-minded team he wants the Knicks to personify this season, they were getting blown out Friday night for much of their first preseason...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Garden opens for Knicks business Friday with the Knicks’ first preseason home game against the Wizards. The arena may burst with noise because the arena has stayed mostly full amid the depressing six-year playoff drought. When the Knicks last left the Garden court six months ago, 115-89 losers to the Pistons on April 10,...

Ben Wallace wasn’t the only big-name guest attending Knicks practice Thursday. John Calipari, who coached current Knicks Julius Randle and Kevin Knox at Kentucky, spent the day seated with president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry during the team’s session in Tarrytown. “I’m taking advantage of that. We don’t have him here for long. But...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
The Knicks surrounded their guest lecturer on the practice court Thursday, and David Fizdale only can hope what Ben Wallace had to say resonated with his team. Wallace was a member of a “no-stars” Pistons team that won the NBA championship in 2004 over the Lakers and lost in the Finals the following year to...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
It could be hard to watch the Knicks again this season. It could be even harder to watch the Mavericks. Kristaps Porzingis took the floor Wednesday night for the first time since tearing his ACL at Madison Square Garden 20 months ago, and looked strikingly similar to the star originally expected to spend the next...
