TORONTO – Finally the Knicks face the defending champions. The first Knicks-Thunder matchup of the season is Wednesday at MSG – more than five months into the campaign – and not ideal circumstances for Mike Brown’s side. The Knicks will go back-to-back after beating the Raptors 111-95 on Tuesday, flying from Toronto to New York. […]
Mitchell Robinson asked, and his Knicks teammates listened. It’s noticeable that they want to find him more often in recent games as he rolls to the basket after setting a screen. It mainly resulted in alley-oops. “When we’re watching film, I tell them, ‘Look here, I’m wide open. Throw it to me. I’m doing a […]
By playing without their two best rebounders, the typical Knicks strength disappeared. Without Mitchell Robinson (load management) and Josh Hart (ankle), the Knicks haven’t dominated the glass — and they were pounded on the boards during their 134-132 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday in San Antonio. The Spurs had 11 offensive rebounds and 23 […]
Photo: New York Knicks/Twitter Mitchell Robinson continues to stand out as a unique piece in the New York Knicks rotation, largely because of the big impact he can have without having the ball in his hands, as James L. Edwards III of The Athletic notes. While opponents are well aware of his limited offensive range, […]
Karl-Anthony Towns was on the bench as the Knicks changed the course of the game.

Robinson came on for […]
TORONTO — NBA Cup prize money is not distributed equally. For Karl-Anthony Towns, it’s a small portion of his $53 million salary. For Tyler Kolek, it’s a big bonus on top of his $2.2 million. And it arrives just in time for the holidays. “It’s definitely a big number. Last Christmas I bought my mom […]
So much for Mike Brown’s plans to use Josh Hart in smaller doses. This was the workload Hart had grown accustomed to under Brown’s predecessor, Tom Thibodeau. And he rewarded Brown’s faith with a standout performance, recording 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists in a season-high 40 minutes during the Knicks’ 118-109 Black Friday […]
Mike Brown revealed last week that Mitchell Robinson’s agent is part of the group dictating the fiscal management program, which is aimed at maintaining the center’s long-term health but was also shrouded in mystery to start this season with four straight DNPs. “[Knicks VP of Sports Medicine Casey Smith] is the one dictating it, along […]
MIAMI – Mitchell Robinson’s minutes restriction has been relaxed, but coach Mike Brown hasn’t come close to playing his center to the limit. Robinson, who put weight on his surgically repaired ankle early in the season, again logged sub-20 minutes in Monday’s 115-113 loss to the Heat. It was the seventh time in seven appearances […]
