Michael Beasley doesn’t have a very large role for the Knicks and as such he doesn’t get many opportunities for minutes on most nights. He decided to make the very most (or least depending on how you view it) of his limited time on Sunday by fouling out as soon as possible. He picked up [...]

Courtney Lee is a wanted man. The New York Knicks, of course, knew this before the season started. At 32, with a nice three-point stroke, some defensive chops and a reasonable three years (including this one) and $36.8 million left on his deal, he fits the bill for playoff hopefuls and contenders. Not surprisingly, then, [...]

No one on the New York Knicks is happier the triangle offense has met its doom than…Courtney Lee’s stat sheet.

Add Tim Hardaway Jr. to the list of injured New York Knicks players who don’t have a timeline for return. Kristaps Porzingis is currently on the shelf with an ankle injury, and the team isn’t quite sure how much time he’ll miss. The same can now be said for Hardaway, who has missed the Knicks’ [...]

Remember how we said to know better than to expect the LeBron James-Enes Kanter beef to fade off into the sunset, or at least until the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks meet again in April?

Enes Kanter has missed the New York Knicks’ past three games with back spasms, and while the team hopes to welcome him back to the fold against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, he return re-accentuates a problem they’ve had all season: The roster is stocked with too many damn bigs Kanter’s absence didn’t really serve [...]

New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek could be content with his team’s .500 start. Few people expected them to contend for 25-plus victories this season, even while factoring in a leap from Kristaps Porzingis. That they’re almost halfway there less than 20 games into the season, with a puncher’s chance of sticking in the [...]

Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon is ready and willing to work with Kristaps Porzingis if the call comes in. He just doesn’t think the New York Knicks’ superstar needs his tutelage. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Hakeem Olajuwon is now a Rockets adviser who has expressed interest in an ownership stake. So the Nigerian [...]
