Donte DiVincenzo, once a fearless, hot 3-point shooter for the Knicks, as he converted a career-high 40 percent from deep during the 2023-24 campaign, no longer suits up for the blue and orange. Now, he's a member of the Timberwolves, which would make for a different type of gathering.

Randle played a secondary role in the Timberwolves’ 116-99 win, taking a backseat in the spotlight as Anthony Edwards dazzled with 36 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

The Oklahoma City Thunder looks to rebound against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday after their 15-game winning streak ended in Cleveland.

The Knicks withstood a strong start from old enemy Trae Young, overcoming an early deficit to earn a 119-110 victory over his Atlanta Hawks amidst celebrations of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Inauguration Day. With the win, New York took down Atlanta for the first time in three tries this season and ended the Hawks' three-game winning streak.

No, Trae Young’s rolling-of-the-dice center-court pantomime act certainly is not top of mind for the Knicks heading into Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee against the Hawks, even if they fully acknowledge the less-than-cordial history between Atlanta’s sharpshooting guard and the fans at the Garden.
