NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks coach David Fizdale acknowledged publicly for the first time the possibility of Kristaps Porzingis not playing this season, calling it an “if and when.” Fizdale said he’s not thinking about Porzingis at this point and not “planning” on a return, couching his remarks that he doesn’t want to lose focus on the current group....

Five observations from the Knicks’ 112-107 road victory Wednesday over the Hawks at newly named State Farm Arena (formerly Philips Arena). 1. It took ex-Knicks PG Derrick Rose 11 seasons to find his three-point shot. He made a career-high seven Wednesday on nine attempts in Minnesota’s loss to the Lakers. Former Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek...
NY Post (Mark W. Sanchez) —
Looking back on it two and half years later, Derek Fisher wishes he could have seen the signs from the start. Phil Jackson’s first hire as Knicks coach, who lasted a disastrous season and a half before Jackson pulled the plug in February 2016, did not fully understand Jackson’s wishes when he took the job,...

ATLANTA — The point-guard carousel kept spinning Wednesday and Trey Burke wound up getting his first DNP since his early days as a Knick last season. The starting point guard to begin the season, Burke didn’t seem too understanding of the snub, though Frank Ntilikina and Emmanuel Mudiay both performed well. The surprising part is...

ATLANTA — The Knicks are unbeaten … against the hapless Hawks. Tim Hardaway Jr. returned to action after a one-game absence (back) to score 34 points against his former team, and slumping starting point guard Frank Ntilikina returned to life with 14 points while shutting off rookie sensation Trae Young as the Knicks topped the...

ATLANTA — Add another name to the list of Knicks Hall of Famers to address the club: Bernard King. Knicks coach David Fizdale continued his campaign promise in bringing in distinguished Knicks alumni to spread their wisdom — and he especially wants King to bond with rookie lottery-pick Kevin Knox. King, who lives in Atlanta,...

ATLANTA — Playing its first game since Kevin Knox left for the NBA draft, Kentucky got overwhelmed Tuesday by Duke’s freshman power trio — one of whom could be Knox’s teammate next season. Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish led Duke with their brilliance to a stunning 118-84 romp over John Calipari’s Wildcats, and Knox...

ATLANTA — Knicks rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox hopes to let it rip against the Hawks on Wednesday after being buoyed by Monday’s rousing Garden ovation when he made his long-anticipated return from a left ankle sprain. Knox, 19, played just five first-half minutes in the double-overtime loss to the Bulls — his highlight play...

ATLANTA — The comparisons started during the season opener, when undrafted shooting guard Allonzo Trier threw down a vicious slam on Atlanta’s Taurean Green after sweeping past Hawks rookie Trae Young. Trier gyrated to the crowd and the Garden erupted. MSG Network’s Walt Frazier said the dunk reminded him of another undrafted shooting guard with...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks center Enes Kanter doesn’t want an award. He wants the playoffs. Kanter’s postseason sentiment contradicts coach David Fizdale’s remark last week. Fizdale said the league’s youngest team isn’t “chasing victories” when he boldly moved to start 20-year-old project Mitchell Robinson, who had barely picked up a basketball until he was in 10th grade, over...

Knicks veteran guard Courtney Lee said he’s responding to an injection to calm an inflamed nerve in his neck and will meet with doctors in a week to see if he can be cleared for practice. Lee didn’t play in the preseason, hasn’t played in the regular season and hasn’t talked much. In his first...

Knicks rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox got a big ovation when he checked in with 9:48 left in the first quarter Monday night. Almost immediately he made an impact. Enes Kanter tipped a ball loose and Knox stole it from Antonio Blakeney and glided in for a fast-break dunk with 8:50 to go. That was...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
It is one thing to be asked to buy into a meritocracy. Everything about that seems right. Everything about that seems fair. The best players play. If the best players are being outplayed by their backups on a given night, the subs play. It is an easy system to endorse in theory. It is less...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Undrafted rookie Allonzo Trier made his first career start, and after missing his first six shots, he lifted the Knicks in the fourth quarter Monday night against the Bulls. He put himself in position to be become a last-second hero — twice. Trier succeeded neither time — in the final seconds of regulation or in...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks rookie lottery-pick Kevin Knox is back. Knicks coach David Fizdale wasn’t going to dispute the doctors, so he allowed Knox to play Monday against the Bulls despite not going through a five-on-five scrimmage before his return from an ankle sprain. The doctors cleared Knox anyway to play Monday against the Bulls after missing seven...
