New York Knicks Rumors

Bridges is trending in the right direction offensively and is averaging 21.8 points per game over his last six contests, Peter Botte of The New York Post reports.

Brunson is playing better this season than in 2023-24, when he finished fifth in MVP voting, according to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Sims is making an impact as a rim protector in a backup role with the Knicks this season, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. "He's really worked hard at it," Thibodeau said of Sims. "Very athletic. Great feet. And making the right decision at the right time. His athleticism is through the roof. He can react very quickly. And you need that. The rim protection is huge."

Robinson is rehabbing from ankle surgery and is expected to return between December or January, but that situation could change in the coming weeks, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. "You seen what happened when I rushed to come back? I was back out," Robinson said. "At this point, I gotta make sure I'm good for life, too. C'mon, now. Let's not be selfish here. ... But we're going to be good. We're going to be all right. We're going to be okay. Promise you, we're going to be straight."

Sims will open the 2024-25 regular season in the rotation for the Knicks, and head coach Tom Thibodeau expressed confidence on what the big man can bring to the table. "He has the ability, because of his athleticism, to play very well," Thibodeau said, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. "So you play the ball, stay below the roller, get back, make a decision in the restricted, those are things that are hard to measure but because of his athleticism, it's what he's good at."

McBride is a candidate to enter the starting lineup in case the Knicks want to use Josh Hart as a sixth man, Peter Botte of The New York Post speculates.

Hukporti could earn a standard roster contract with the Knicks before the start of the 2024-25 regular season, according to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Achiuwa is mentioned as one of several role players who could outperform expectations in the 2024-25 season, according to John Hollinger of The Athletic.

Hart averaged 41.0 minutes per game across his final 40 contests -- including the playoffs -- last season, symbolizing coach Tom Thibodeau's willingness to not rest players. Entering the 2024-25 campaign, coach "Thibodeau isn't changing his load management stance after last season's DNP avalanche," Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Bridges is not expected to sign a contract extension with the Knicks before the start of the 2024-25 season, according to Bobby Marks of ESPN. "The indication I've gotten just from talking to people is that there is not going to be an extension, that he will wait until next year to look at the extension," Marks said. "[Bridges is] limited as far as the six-month rule. Next year, he can extend for four years."

Sims is likely to have a role in the rotation to start the 2024-25 season with the Knicks unless the team makes a trade in the coming weeks, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.

Randle is willing to take on "any role" he's assigned this season "if it leads to winning," according to Ian Begley of SNY.tv.

Kolek is not expected to have a prominent role with the Knicks as a rookie in the 2024-25 season, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The Knicks might have a hard time trying to trade Randle in the offseason due to the difference in the way the team values him in comparison to the rest of the NBA, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Randle is not in a hurry to sign an extension with the Knicks, according to Ian Begley of SNY.tv.

Anunoby could see minutes at the power forward position during the 2024-25 season, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Randle could see minutes at the center position during the 2024-25 season, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The Knicks could attempt to play Randle at center in an attempt to bolster their depth at the position for the 2024-25 season, according to John Hollinger and Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Sims has been working to improve his offensive game during the offseason, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.

Randle might be forced to take a discount to sign an extension with the Knicks before the Aug. 3 deadline, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Bridges is expected to sign a below-market contract extension with the Knicks following his June trade from the Nets, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Brunson, who's recovering from left hand surgery, is unsure about signing an extension with the Knicks this summer, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The Knicks recently agreed in principle to a trade for Mikal Bridges, and they reportedly have no interest in including McBride in the trade, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

The Wizards have shown interest in trading for Robinson, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
