Carmelo Anthony Injury: Updates on Knicks Star’s Wrist Injury Basketball, Breaking News, Carmelo Anthony, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
The New York Knicks have lost seven of their past eight games, and one of the biggest reasons for that has been the shooting slump of star small forward Carmelo Anthony. Melo managed only one point against the Charlotte Bobcats two games ago, but that may have to do with a multitude of injuries. Anthony is currently nursing thumb, wrist and ankle ailments. The Knicks could certainly use him when they take on the Miami Heat tonight, but indications are that he will sit the game out. According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida SunSentinel, Carmelo won't be suiting ...

Carmelo Anthony Injury: Just How Banged Up Is Melo? Basketball, Breaking News, Carmelo Anthony, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
Already dealing with a bad back, Carmelo Anthony added to his injury woes. First he sprained his right wrist, then he sprained his right ankle. At that point he was more "all left" than all right which is why he left the game and didn't return.Without Anthony in the game the New York Knicks struggled and were essentially blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies. So this of course leaves Knicks fans wanting to know, when does their MVP candidate come back? The answer isn't likely to be next game if that's what you want to hear. According to Anthony, "We will see ...

It only took part of one game for the New York Knicks' lack of depth to be exposed with rookie point guard Iman Shumpert straining his MCL against Boston, now expecting to miss two-to-four weeks.

Tyson Chandler Makes the New York Knicks Title Contenders Breaking News, NBA, New York Knicks, Tyson Chandler | Comments Off
When we last saw the New York Knicks on a basketball court, they were humiliated, intimidated and thoroughly outplayed by the aging Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, losing 4-0. It was a tragic scene for Knicks fans who have not seen consistent winning days since Patrick Ewing was summarily sent packing in 2000. At the time of last year's Celtics debacle and comeuppance, the Knicks were comprised of a pessimistic coach, Mike D'Antoni, who had no idea—and still doesn't—about defense; two stars, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, who were providing neither leadership ...

Posey is the perfect free agent acquisition for a team that honestly believes it has most of the pieces in place to win it all. He's now available after being cut free by the Indiana Pacers, who chose to exercise their amnesty clause rather than keep the $7.5 million he was owed on the books.

Knicks Rumors: Baron Davis Is Making the Right Choice with New York Baron Davis, Basketball, Breaking News, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
Today Baron Davis will sign with the New York Knicks, and it's the best possible choice for him to make. Of the three teams that would be most willing to ink him, the Knicks give him the best possible combination of being on a contender and being a significant aspect of it. The three teams—the Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat—all offer him a chance to be the starter, but for different reasons he is better off in New York than either of the other two teams. The Lakers are on the precipice of imploding. Yes, I know it's ...

Knicks News: New York on FA Gilbert Arenas’ Wish List Breaking News, Gilbert Arenas, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
It looks like the Knicks have two options now in the category of "cocky, injury-riddled, free agent guard who's great if he's motivated enough to play." Free agent Gilbert Arenas apparently has a wish list naming the four teams he hopes will pick him up and give him a chance, and the Knickerbockers are one of them. The other three teams are the Lakers, Heat, and whatever team Dwight Howard is on.Okay, so technically there's only three teams total, since I doubt the Magic are going to see this list and realize they made a huge mistake in letting him go. The other two options ...
