Our first chance to see the new look Knicks take the court.
And they’re off! This evening, the New York Knicks will challenge the Charlotte Hornets in their first preseason game of the 2024-25 campaign. As Hornets fans brace for more-of-the-same, Knicks fans are swelling with anticipation for the upcoming campaign. (And this writer may also have some gas.)
Charlotte played well in Summer ball, finishing with a combined 7-1 record between the California Classic and Summer League. Today, expect to see LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Miles Bridges, and Nick Richards in the teal uniforms. For New York, look for familiar faces Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby in the first five, as well as newbies Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns. We’re also super curious to see how the rooks play under the direction of Thibs. In a Summer League game against the Hornets, newcomer Tyler Kolek dished seven dimes. Will he again?
Tip-off is 5pm EST on MSG, Fubu, Sling TV, and YouTube TV. This is your game thread. This is At the Hive. Please don’t post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Be cool and considerate. And go Knicks!
