New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Alec Burks’ 3-point accuracy has been sharper than his injury projections. When he sprained his right ankle in the season’s third game on Dec. 27, the Knicks’ hot-shooting swingman thought he’d be back in a flash. “I underestimated it,’’ Burks said after Wednesday’s practice in San Francisco. “I felt if I took a couple of...

Rookie point guard Immanuel Quickley may just have the moxie to play fearlessly against Warriors megastar Stephen Curry when the Knicks (7-8) begin their four-game West Coast trip Thursday in San Francisco. Quickley said he feels coach Tom Thibodeau’s defense-savvy Knicks have a solid game plan for the high-flying Warriors (7-6), who no longer are...

Like a cat’s nine lives, Elfrid Payton has survived all point-guard comers to hold onto the starting job for a second straight season — even turning back surging rookie Immanuel Quickley. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina have proved no competition — each suffering early-season injuries to eliminate them as contenders. Each will be trade...

It’s been a roller-coaster first 15 games for the Knicks this season. From 0-2 to 2-3 to 5-3 to 5-8 to now 7-8. They won games on back-to-back days Sunday and Monday for the first time in three years, after 40 failed attempts. The team is in the top eight in the Eastern Conference right...

Jeff Van Gundy loves everything his protege Tom Thibodeau has done for the Knicks at the 15-game mark. But the former Knicks head coach saved his strongest praise for the mastermind that drafted Immanuel Quickley, the rookie point guard out of Kentucky, selected 25th. In an interview with The Post about the 7-8 Knicks, Van...

All-Stars — besides being elite talents — fight through poor-shooting games and still help their teams win. Check another box for Knicks power forward Julius Randle. With his minutes mounting all season, Randle looked like he had nothing in the tank across much of MLK Day’s noon match against the Magic. Despite tired legs that...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Of all the Knicks, he is the one who will receive the most scrutiny for as long as he plays here. He was the No. 3 pick in a draft in which Zion Williamson went 1 and Ja Morant went 2. He was the Knicks’ first-round pick after a year in which they won 17...

If there were fans, the Garden faithful would have spent MLK Day chanting “De-fence.” The defensive momentum from their rout of the Celtics carried over into MLK Day as the Knicks shut out the Magic in a 91-84 squeaker in a noon matinee at the fan-free Garden. The Knicks couldn’t shoot either – not even...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
This was more like the Obi Toppin the Knicks thought they were getting. The lottery pick is still working his way back after suffering a strained calf in the season opener, with Sunday marking just his fourth NBA game. But Toppin offered a glimpse of what might be to come, recording a career-high 12 points...

Manhattan native Cole Anthony should have plenty of motivation to face the Knicks at the Garden in a Martin Luther King Day matinee. The Magic’s 6-foot-2 rookie starting point guard was passed over by the Knicks with the No. 8 pick. Anthony wasn’t high on the Knicks’ point guard list. The Upper West Side stud...

It was the perfect birthday gift for Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau is a proud New Englander, born in New Britain, Conn, a diehard Patriots’ fan who rooted early in his childhood for the Knicks before going green. As he turned 63, Thibodeau didn’t get a big Tom Brady birthday cake but celebrated by returning to New...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
The Knicks’ five-game losing streak is over. All it took was a showdown with the top team in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics were missing Jayson Tatum and looked out of sorts, but the Knicks took advantage and brought the energy to run away with a dominating 105-75 win Sunday afternoon at TD Garden. The...

Mired in a five-game losing streak, the Knicks can’t look to their schedule for any help. Sunday’s matchup with the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics begins a stretch of four games in six days for the Knicks, including a pair of back-to-backs with a cross-country flight in between. That makes practice days few and far between, forcing...
NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
Tom Thibodeau reiterated Saturday that “everything is on the table,” for the Knicks to potentially shake up their lineup while stuck in a five-game losing streak. Rookie point guard Immanuel Quickley has put his name in the hat with the recent jolt he has delivered off the bench, but so has another Kentucky product with...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
While Alec Burks appears to be getting closer to a return for the Knicks, Frank Ntilikina does not. The French enigma has been limited to four games this season, the fourth and final one of Ntilikina’s rookie contract. And it’s going a lot like the first three — disappointing, with nagging injuries to boot. Ntilikina’s...
