Expectations were high for Frank Ntilikina coming into 2018-19. Not only was the former eighth overall draft pick poised to reap the benefits of rookie-year growing pains as a sophomore, but he also literally grew a full inch between the time he was drafted and late last summer, suggesting the Frenchman could exploit his enviable […]

The general consensus is that after this season, Kevin Durant is done with the Golden State Warriors. He is a free agent this summer, and I’m not sure there is anyone who doesn’t think he is leaving. The Warriors have even seemed to come to terms that he is gone. One of the top rumored […]

Second-year point guard Frank Ntilikina of the New York Knicks has not had his best season. After a rookie year in which he flashed outstanding defensive upside at the guard position, not to mention an engulfing wingspan and good size at 6-foot-6, this year, Frankie Smokes has not improved upon his rookie year. After playing […]

Kevin Durant has been largely noncommittal to a return to the Golden State Warriors, and all signs are now pointing to him leaving for the New York Knicks as an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, several NBA executives, agents, scouts and […]

Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors will likely sit out on Thursday’s game against the New York Knicks.

The Raptors have already listed […]

The Ringer’s Bill Simmons says he would “bet the house” on star small forward Kevin Durant signing with the New York Knicks this summer in free agency. Durant becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1 once he declines his 2019-20 player option with the Golden State Warriors. Many believe Durant will leave the Warriors […]

If Kevin Durant affirms over a year’s worth of rumors by signing with the New York Knicks this summer, the two-time reigning Finals MVP’s unparalleled scoring acumen is what will get Madison Square Garden rocking loudest. But defense wins championships, the trope goes, and Durant is also one of the league’s best defenders both on […]

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is currently listed as day-to-day, but the team will likely be cautious with his return after learning that he has a few dislocated discs in his back. According to Chris Iseman of The Record, Smith recently underwent an MRI exam — the results of which showed inflammation […]

New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of this season after an MRI scan revealed an ankle sprain.

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina missed nearly two months due to a groin strain, making his way back onto the floor March 20.

Clippers head coach Doc Rivers praised the hard work New York Knicks helmsman David Fizdale has had to do over the course of the 2018-19 season, coaching his young players and managing his veteran’s minutes in an otherwise lost campaign. “I think he’s done a remarkable job,” said Rivers, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley. […]

Just before the trade deadline, the New York Knicks traded big man Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks, ending Porzingis’ short reign as The Unicorn in the Big Apple. But before the Knicks ultimately dealt Porzingis in February, they already had plans of trading him last June. According to Zach Lowe of ESPN, New York […]

The injury to Kevin Knox came at a time when he had seemingly adjusted to the NBA level of play. New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale knows this and is frustrated by the way things have turned out. In the final seconds of the first half against the L.A. Clippers on Sunday, Knox rolled […]

New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson is currently ranked third overall in the league in terms of blocks per game. The 7-foot-1 big man is swatting 2.4 shots per contest, and amazingly, he is doing so in only 19.0 minutes per game. The 20-year-old is a natural in his position, and as confidently stated by […]

New York Knicks rookie center Mitchell Robinson has made a quick leap into the league and has started to establish himself as one of the top shot-blockers in the NBA to the surprise of head coach David Fizdale. After 58 games, the 7-foot-1 big man is swatting 2.43 shots per game, a mark only second […]

New York Knicks fans need not worry. A recent ankle injury to Kevin Knox isn’t as serious as the previous one, according to head coach David Fizdale.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers recently gave us a preview of his team’s recruitment approach once free agency hits this summer. However, it wasn’t much of a reveal — if you could call it that — as the 57-year-old coach opted to share very little of L.A.’s plans. Doc Rivers on pitching the […]

The New York Knicks utilized the No. 9 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft to bring Kevin Knox aboard after just one year spent at Kentucky.

CLUTCH Summary: The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers once nearly made a trade that would have sent shock waves through the entire NBA, as well as the souls of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. The player involved in this “what if” trade scenario was Carmelo Anthony, who is now on the outside of […]

It’s late March, and Carmelo Anthony remains unsigned. The former scoring champion who was once a mortal lock to make the All-Star team has become an afterthought in one of the quickest descents we have seen in the history of the NBA. Anthony began the season with the Houston Rockets and played all of 10 […]

Former NBA player and current ESPN personality Jalen Rose thinks Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will sign with the New York Knicks this summer if they leave the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, respectively.

The New York Knicks have exciting young talent in Dennis Smith Jr. and Kevin Knox. However, the two isn’t really the most promising among all the team’s young players. That credit goes to Mitchell Robinson who continues to prove that he is the biggest steal of the 2018 NBA draft. If you aren’t a New […]

The Denver Nuggets made quick work of the New York Knicks en route to a 111-95 win. However, the fans at Madison Square Garden wanted to see a certain player from the opposing team step into the court and play. They made it known, that they wanted to see Isaiah Thomas in action. Or at […]

The rookie season of New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox hasn’t quite gone as planned, and it continued on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets. As the 19-year-old took off for a high-flying jam that would have brought the Madison Square Garden crowd to its feet, he lost control of the ball before getting to the […]

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant will become a free agent this summer once he declines his player option for the 2019-20 season, and he is reportedly interested in joining the New York Knicks.

Earl Monroe knows a thing or two about what it takes to win with the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks may have whiffed on the opportunity to select guard Donovan Mitchell in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Ntilikina was notably absent once again during New York’s recent abysmal loss at the hands of Utah. According […]

Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks is in the middle of one of the best rookie years in franchise history.

Despite his new squad’s potential to emerge as one of the league’s most […]

Count former NBA player and the father of Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr., Tim Hardaway Sr., as someone who didn’t understand what happened between Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks. Porzingis reportedly had a meeting with Knicks near the end of January, and then a few hours later, reports came out about him […]

Kobe Bryant snuck in a golden nugget of truth during the release of his new book, “The Wizenard Series,” telling Frank Isola of The Athletic of a big what-if throughout his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. The purple-and-gold icon said that if he could’ve played for any other team besides the Lakers, it […]
