Knicks Struggle to Involve Towns as Center-Less Pistons Edge MSG

New York failed to feed Karl-Anthony Towns early as a center-less Pistons squad—without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart due to suspensions—built a halftime lead and held on for the win. Towns finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists but only took three shots in the first half, then provided a spark in the third quarter. Coach Mike Brown said the Knicks will continue to run their system and search for ways to free Towns, who is having a down shooting season. The Knicks dropped the game and sit 0-3 in a stretch against the East’s No. 1 seed.

Tank­ing’s Mirage: Knicks Should Embrace Smart Drafting and Trades

Tank­ing’s Mirage: Knicks Should Embrace Smart Drafting and Trades

Tank­ing is a false promise; history shows championships come from savvy drafting and trades rather than losing to improve lottery odds. None of the last 20 Finals MVPs was drafted in the top four, and in the past six years players like SGA, Jaylen Brown, Jokic, Curry, Giannis—and even LeBron James via free agency—have demonstrated that elite teams win through smart acquisitions and development, not tanking. The Thunder’s tanking approach under Sam Presti is a notable outlier. For the Knicks, the takeaway is clear: avoid chasing losses and focus on smart drafting and trades instead.

MSG Sports eyes split of Knicks and Rangers into separate public companies

Madison Square Garden Sports' board approved exploring a plan to spin off its two franchises into separate publicly traded companies: the Knicks (and Westchester Knicks) as one company, and the Rangers (and Hartford Wolf Pack) as another. There is no timeline or guarantee; approvals from the NBA and NHL are required, and the move would aim to give each franchise clearer focus and investor characteristics, reflecting Dolan-era corporate restructuring.

Knicks shore up backcourt with Jose Alvarado as injury woes bite

The Knicks acquired Jose Alvarado from the Pelicans ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks, and cash, hoping to add reliable ball-handling depth behind Jalen Brunson. With Deuce McBride headed for core surgery and other injuries testing the rotation, New York’s backcourt is thinner than it appears, making Alvarado both a needed upgrade and a reminder of how fragile the team’s playoff push has become.

Knicks slam Toronto with a blistering third quarter to rout the Raptors 119-92

New York overcame a rocky start in Toronto to crush the Raptors 119-92, riding a dominant third-quarter burst (64-26) led by Mikal Bridges’ 30 points on 12-for-15 shooting. The Knicks outshot and outperformed Toronto in the paint and ball movement, aided by a 22-point, 22-rebound showing from Karl-Anthony Towns and a strong 22-point effort from Josh Hart despite an ankle issue. OG Anunoby countered with 26 points for Toronto, while Tyler Kolek added 10 assists off the bench. The win extends New York’s current four-game streak, gives them a 3-0 season-series edge, and sets up a meeting with Portland next.
