Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports New York bets on in-house promotions and known faces rather than outsiders. As was previously mentioned , the Knicks needed to sign two players to meet the NBA’s regular season roster requirements by the end of the day.

Sweet 16. As we foretold last week, this week’s segment of “Who Wore it Best” promises to be a riveting one—last week delivered Earl “The Pearl” vs. Dick McGuire. This week, we get Steve Novak vs. Bo Kimble. Or perhaps Novak vs. a different McGuire as in Alfred (who wore the number from 1952-1954) or Allie (who wore it in 1974.) I’m going to go out on a limb and predict Novak will walk...

Jeremy Reper-USA TODAY Sports Knicks’ postseason path is a tightrope walk between hope and disappointment. Unlike most 33-22 teams holding the fourth seed in their conference, the Knicks find themselves in a peculiar situation. One that is filled with hope, questions, and concerns. And because of that, the 27 games that they have remaining in the regular season will be crucial for...

They are 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for...

Officially, at least, with the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend already in the rearview mirror and players either returning to their city or spending one final day (shout-out JB!) off before getting back to work. On Sunday, the 73rd All-Star...

Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images Whether that pairing will include Taj Gibson or not is anyone's guess. We’re more than a week past the official trade deadline (Feb. 8) but that doesn’t mean all franchises across the Association have finished putting together their rosters, let alone comply with the NBA rules in place for the regular season. When it comes to roster building and...
