Is there any solution to the Knicks’ Tyrese Maxey problem?
NY Post
There’s been a lot of dissection of the last 30 seconds of regulation in Game 5, when Tyrese Maxey, the firecracker Philly point guard, turned Madison Square Garden into his personal playground.
But the signs of the explosion were evident all night, even all series, and triggered with 4:33 left in the fourth quarter when Maxey pulled up from 28 feet, with no hesitation in his brain or legs, and buried a long trey.
It was the type of shot that jump-starts heaters — like the one Maxey used to score 12 of Philly’s final 18 regulation points.
Depending on how the next few days go, Maxey either postponed or canceled that celebration outside of 4 Penn Plaza.
“Once he got in rhythm,” Tom Thibodeau said, “he’s hard to slow down.”
As much of the focus of the fans, the media and the Knicks’ game plan has been on Embiid, Maxey has been their No. 1 headache.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
