What Tyler Kolek’s been looking for, and hopefully found, with this Knicks’ summer league stint
NY Post
LAS VEGAS — Tyler Kolek, at his playmaking peak, is an antagonizer. Confident. Arrogant, maybe.
Picture the villain in a 1980s teen movie.
“When I’m playing at my best,” Kolek said, “I got that swagger, I got that s— to me.”
You might’ve witnessed this version of Kolek in college, specifically at Marquette, where he adopted the roles of tormentor and villain. Regularly taunted by opposing fans — that type of frat-boy nastiness — Kolek responded by leading the nation in assists his junior and season seasons and earning an All-American nod.

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.
