The New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors agreed to voluntarily dismiss a 2023 lawsuit involving the alleged theft of thousands of confidential files, according to a court filing Friday that was obtained by ESPN. Spokespersons representing the teams issued the same statement to ESPN: "The Knicks and (Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment) withdrew their respective claims and the matter is resolved. The Parties are focused on the future."

The NYPD and New York State Police are digging through a landfill in upstate New York as part of the search for a missing 11-year-old autistic boy from Brooklyn, law enforcement sources have confirmed. It is unclear what led investigators to the High Acres Landfill in Parinton, about 14 miles east of Rochester, though it is one of many dumping sites for refuse hauled out of New York City.

We'll still employ New York residents, and we'll still continue to do mortgage loans in New York, of course, the source continued. But we are going to eliminate our physical presence. And to the extent that we have leases, we are going to be subleasing those, a source close to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) told the news outlet.

Although his driver's license was suspended, Alvi Limani, 20, of Prince's Bay, allegedly was behind the wheel of a gray BMW X3 occupied by three other people when the horrific crash occurred on the evening of June 29, according to the criminal complaint. Albion Hysenaj, 19, of Great Kills, died and Joseph Donzella, 21, of Bay Terrace, was seriously injured after they were ejected from the backseat of Limani's BMW.

Throughout media day and through early training camp the team is making it clear that Ingram is extremely focused this season. After missing 64 games last season which includes every game after he was traded to Toronto, it is encouraging to hear how much work Ingram is putting in on the court. "Brandon and I compete a lot, obviously we're all playing together but it's still competition" said Barrett

Almost two years after the MTA announced it would begin a pilot program using its on-board bus cameras to ticket drivers who block bike lanes, the pilot still hasn't surfaced - and it's unclear if the agency has any plans to make it happen. The state in 2023 expanded the MTA's ability to use its bus-mounted cameras to ticket drivers outside of bus lanes - double parked on bus routes, parked in bus stops and even blocking bike lanes.

Thomas Bryant's wait for another team will have to continue as the NBA season approaches quickly. The Indiana product has been quite the journeyman throughout the start of his professional career and while being a journeyman isn't the worst case scenario, the constant lack of security to stick on a roster is a feeling that no player in the league wants to deal with.

The Knicks have been linked with veteran guard Ben Simmons to bolster the depth of their backcourt, but they have yet to offer him a contract. SNY's Ian Begley was the first to relay that New York has not submitted a formal offer shortly after Marc Stein reported that Simmons rejected a deal sent over by Leon Rose and Co.

Ever since Brandon Ingram arrived at the trade deadline, the prevailing discussion about Toronto's roster has been that it's too wing-heavy, lacking reliable three-point threats, and perhaps with too many mouths to feed. When your starting lineup features players like Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Brandon Ingram, concerns about ball sharing and everyone getting enough opportunities are understandable; NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor just recently highlighted the Raptors' lack of 'continuity' hurting them last year.

I interviewed for the Knicks. I did. It was the same interview that everybody else [had] that was in their candidate pool. Same thing.

Quickley’s admittance into the Toronto trade discussions brought expectations, as he was perceived as a potential successor for the Raptors' point guard role post-Lowry and VanVleet.

Mikal Bridges has agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the New York Knicks, including a player option for 2029-30 and a trade kicker. Bridges' deal provides the Knicks flexibility to continue roster improvements.
