  • ‘Stop tryin’ for Zion’: Knicks once again own NBA’s worst record

    With their loss in Sacramento Monday night and a win by the Phoenix Suns, the Knicks are back to leading the Zion Williamson Sweepstakes.

    New York is now 13-51 and the owner of the NBA’s worst record. The bottom three teams all have a 14 percent chance at the No. 1 pick.

    The 6-foot-7 Williamson, meantime, could return to the court Tuesday night against Wake Forest after missing three games with a knee sprain. Williamson likely hopes to play in Saturday’s regular-season finale against rival North Carolina after he was injured in the opening minute of the first game on Feb. 20.

    “If they draft me, I would love to play for the Knicks,” the 6-foot-7 Williamson said after Duke beat Texas Tech last month at the Garden. “I don’t really care where I go, just the experience of being in the NBA. Whoever wants me and whoever sees the most in me, that’s where I want to be.”

    Williamson also told me that it would be “dope” to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, two free-agent targets of the Knicks (and many other teams.)
