New York Knicks: News Articles
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Two players in NBA history have scored at least 25 points and grabbed at least 15 rebounds in one game before their 20th birthdays. One is LeBron James, among the greatest players of all time. The other is Kevin Knox, who is nowhere close to being spoken about in those terms, but who accomplished that...

Willy Hernangomez is taking the line from “The Dark Knight” — “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” — to heart. The one-time fan favorite may become a sworn Garden enemy with comments like these. “Now my job,” he said of close friend Kristaps Porzingis, “is to...

Kemba Walker didn’t shut the door completely, leaving it open just enough to give Knicks fans a glimmer of hope. “I don’t have any interest in coming back home — right now,” the Hornets’ free-agent-to-be point guard said when asked if playing for his hometown Knicks would appeal to him. At least the dynamic Bronx...
NY Times (FIELD LEVEL MEDIA) —
Walker, a native New Yorker, had 25 points for Charlotte. Kevin Knox scored 26 for the Knicks, who have lost four in a row.

If the Knicks were hoping to convince Kemba Walker to join them next summer as a free agent, at least they can say their youthful core put up a fourth-quarter fight in their latest ugly defeat this season. One night after a late rally fell short against the rival Nets, the Knicks couldn’t climb all...

French Fried. French Toasted. However you want to characterize it, the Knicks couldn’t hang with the Hornets on French Heritage Night at the Garden on Sunday in a 119-107 defeat. Except Frank Ntilikina. He was tremendous until he fouled out on questionable calls, sending David Fizdale into a rage...

On the same day Kevin Knox faced Miles Bridges, the player he thumped in his Knicks predraft workout, David Fizdale said the rookie’s effort has improved but he’s still adjusting to the physicality of the NBA. “Definitely has gotten better with (his motor). He’s made some jumps in that area. He’s...

If there’s a solution, it’s not obvious to Tim Hardaway Jr. Immersed in a nasty shooting slump, the guard said he can only continue to work and hope for the best. “I guess,” he said. “I need to find easy ones but that’s not happening. Try to go to the line, but that’s not happening. So whatever...
NY Post (Kevin Kernan) —
Realizing what it takes to win in the NBA is an education in itself. The Knicks and Nets are seeing what it takes, but seeing it and making it happen are two different worlds. The Nets were determined to show they are not tanking this season and thoroughly embarrassed the Knicks 112-104 on their home...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Kemba is coming to town for the holidays. Kemba Walker, The Bronx’s finest point guard, couldn’t stop smiling in August when talking about the Knicks at a Players Association function at Basketball City at Pier 36. Walker even knew the holiday date of the Hornets’ first visit to the Garden. Yes, it is Sunday night,...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks coach David Fizdale put Frank Ntilikina back on the floor during a timeout with 3:43 left in the third quarter and the Knicks down 16 to the Nets on Saturday night. Receiving a nice hand from the Garden crowd, Ntilikina, after sitting three straight games, provided a renewed energy and spark — but it...
NY Daily News (Stefan Bondy) —
As David Fizdale reiterated Saturday, the Knicks’ greatest selling point is that Kristaps Porzingis will return at some point. At least that’s the assumption. Technically, he’ll be a restricted free agent in the summer and we’re 10 months into his rehab without a real update. But the possibility...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Kentucky coach John Calipari, at the Garden for Saturday’s clash with Seton Hall, weighed in on Knicks rookie Kevin Knox’s early-season struggles — stressing his former Wildcats star was the second-youngest player in the draft and will ultimately succeed in the NBA because of his “multi-dimensional’’ skills. “I was with his parents last night –...
NY Daily News (Stefan Bondy) —
The Nets are in the third season of their total overhaul, without the luxury of their own draft pick until this summer. But the improvements have been difficult to define. Nothing tangible in the win-loss department. When GM Sean Marks and coach Kenny Atkinson took over, they preached a long rebuild...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
It’s almost mid-December, but it’s preseason for Knicks veteran Courtney Lee. If that uncontested blown layup wasn’t evidence enough Monday against the Wizards , then here is Lee’s frank review of his first two games, in which he’s shot 1-for-7. “It’s going to take a while to get reactivated to game-speed, game-like situations,’’ Lee said...
