Next phase of Leon Rose’s Knicks reign begins with fascinating NBA Draft chance
NY Post
The honeymoon isn’t over, necessarily. Better to put it this way: It’s changed locations. The Knicks of Leon Rose aren’t lazily lounging on the beaches of Turks and Caicos any longer, merely settling into the blissful grind of newlywed life. Quiet dinners. Maybe a show on the weekend. Maybe a quick getaway down the shore.
Rose has one draft, one free-agent season, one regular season and one playoff run, however truncated, under his belt, and it is hard to argue: So far, so good. Last year’s draft yielded Immanuel Quickley (a surprise Garden favorite) and Obi Toppin (who, at the least, is sure to put in the sweat equity to maximize his talent and justify his selection). The free-agent period passed without a major addition which, for this team, at that time, was right. The regular season? That was the jackpot, a 41-31 bonanza that not even the most optimistic fan could possibly have seen coming. The playoffs? The Hawks buried them, but given what the Hawks did from there — beating Philly and throwing a legit scare into eventual-champ Milwaukee — even that is hard to feel too much lingering angst about.
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.
