Knicks midseason report card: New York moves to title contender status
NY Post
This is tough to grade. I can sympathize with the teachers during the pandemic who were forced to assess on limited participation and theoreticals. With the Knicks this season, only one member of the original starting five is healthy.
Two are off the roster.
Three of the top-five players in minutes played last season have been traded.
Injuries, unfortunately, impact availability, and attendance is a factor in grading.
So yes, somebody such as Mitchell Robinson, who was great when he played, gets docked points for missing so many games because of an ankle surgery.
Also, my criteria is at least a dozen games played with the Knicks this season, so Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic get incompletes.

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.
