Knicks center Enes Kanter hasn’t had much to say since being demoted to the second team, but he expressed his feelings about the move on social media last night, relays Marc Berman of The New York Post. Kanter’s tweet was just a period symbol, which is evidently his way of expressing his speechlessness over losing his […]

Enes Kanter is not the bad guy for wanting to start and win games. It may seem that way — with fans on social media treating him like he’s somehow blocking progress — because the Knicks have been preaching a rebuild and took their youth movement to the extreme Monday by trotting out the youngest…

Usually it’s the other way around: the coach holds back a player on doctor’s orders. With Kevin Knox, however, David Fizdale went against his own recommendation and activated the rookie for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Fizdale had been saying he needs to see Knox go through a 5-on-5 scrimmage…

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…

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…

Undrafted rookie Allonzo Trier made his first career start and put himself in position to be a last-second hero — twice. Trier succeeded neither time — in the final seconds of regulation nor in overtime as the Knicks (3-8) found another way to lose late on a suspect Emmanuel Mudiay foul with 0.2 seconds left…

Knicks lottery pick Kevin Knox is back. David Fizdale wasn’t going to dispute the doctors and allowed the rookie to play Monday versus the Bulls, despite not going through a five-on-five scrimmage before his return from an ankle sprain. The doctors cleared him after missing seven games, and Fizdale was not going to stand in…

WASHINGTON — Four observations from the Knicks’ 108-95 loss to the Wizards in the nation’s capital that dropped them to 3-7 after 10 games. 1. Demoted backup Enes Kanter racked up a bullish 18 points and 14 rebounds in 24:16 but still got pulled for rookie Mitchell Robinson with 5:36 left of a six-point game….

The Knicks went with a remarkably young starting lineup, but a foul by Emmanuel Mudiay set Zach LaVine up for a game-winning free-throw in overtime.

Asked to fill in after the firing of Tyronn Lue, Drew caused a stir by rejecting the interim label. Now he is simply their head coach.

Despite clutch game-tying shots by Allonzo Trier and Emmanuel Mudiay, Zach Lavine hit a free throw with 0.2 seconds remaining in double overtime as the Knicks lost to the Chicago Bulls 116-115 on Monday.

Knicks rookie forward Kevin Knox scored two points and played five minutes in Monday’s double-overtime loss against the Chicago Bulls in his first game back from a sprained ankle.

After losing to the Wizards on the road, the Knicks look to regroup when they face the Bulls on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

It’s a worthwhile question as to whether the Knicks’ best course of action is to keep Tim Hardaway Jr. around during the rebuild or cash in on his value right now and go even younger.

Allonzo Trier is beginning to have the league take notice of him after going undrafted.
