The New York Knicks’ difficult January continued on Jan. 17, 2026, when a short-handed squad dropped a mistake-laden contest to the Phoenix Suns.
With multiple regulars unavailable, the Knicks struggled to find rhythm, committing a series of unforced errors that allowed Phoenix to pull away. The sloppy performance extended New York’s recent slide and underscored the challenges facing the team as it works through roster absences.
The defeat marked another frustrating outing in a month that has seen the Knicks slip further in the standings while battling injuries and inconsistent play.
