Knicks 2024-25 training camp breakdown: Roster battles, rookies and newcomers
NY Post
The Post’s Stefan Bondy breaks down the Knicks’ top storylines heading into training camp.
Barring a surprise, the starting lineup seems pretty set: PG Jalen Brunson, SG Mikal Bridges, SF Josh Hart, PF OG Anunoby, C Karl-Anthony Towns.
That’s a small lineup with no rim protection but maximizes the talent with the roster’s five best players.
So the best battles in camp will be for the reserve minutes.
Assuming Miles McBride is the sixth man, that leaves opportunities to win playing time for Precious Achiuwa, Jericho Sims, Tyler Kolek, Cam Payne and Landry Shamet. Who will impress in Charleston?
Everything involving Towns.
President Donald Trump seemed to confirm he once broke up an elevator fight involving former NBA great Kobe Bryant.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
Where were the grownups for Team USA?
The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Jasson Domínguez’s first-inning at-bat against Tanner Banks on Tuesday featured a different result and a different swing than “The Martian” had been accustomed to against lefty pitching.
Maxx Crosby isn’t looking in the rearview after a wild 24 hours.
