With the Knicks potentially facing their season’s 60th loss, they were dealt a double whammy in the first half of Sunday’s matinee against the Clippers when their last two lottery picks went down.

NY Daily News (Stefan Bondy) —
To the untrained eye, it looks fairly normal from an NBA player. DeAndre Jordan steps to the line and asks a teammate, ‘Who you got?’ or ‘Who you guarding?’ After that first free throw, he asks a different teammate on the other side the same question. Then he shoots. And he does it again the next...

Frank Ntilikina warned his return “was not going to be perfect.’’ And he was right — from a scoring standpoint.

Ja Morant’s dad has sent a message to Zion Williamson.
