Media day and training camp are approaching on the horizon. Find out when the 2016-17 New York Knicks will officially report to camp.

If you’re one of the many who can’t wait for the 2016-17 NBA regular season to begin, this news is going to make your day. After months of uncertainty, the New York Knicks have announced the official dates for media day and training camp.

In mere weeks, the new-look Knicks will take the court as a team and embark upon the journey to basketball immortality.

The Knicks have undergone severe changes at virtually every level of personnel. There’s a new head coach, three new starters, a new sixth man, and a bench that’s flush with fresh faces.

According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, the Knicks will open training camp on Tuesday, September 27.

Three weeks until basketball begins, Knicks fans.

New York will enter the 2016-17 NBA season with confusing expectations. No one seems to expect the Knicks to succeed, yet the general population is still of the belief that missing the playoffs would be underachievement.

Following media day on September 26 and the beginning of training camp on September 27, the Knicks will take the court together for the first time.

Following a three-year stint with the Phoenix Suns, Jeff Hornacek is entering his first year as head coach of the Knicks. He’ll be joined by a surplus of new arrivals, including Brandon Jennings, Courtney Lee, Joakim Noah, and Derrick Rose.

Hornacek will also have the returning Carmelo Anthony, Kyle O’Quinn, Kristaps Porzingis, Lance Thomas, and Sasha Vujacic to help create continuity.

Come training camp, Hornacek will see exactly what it is that he has to work with. There are a number of hungry and gifted individuals who are eager for the season to begin.

The goal in training camp will be to turn that group of hungry and gifted individuals into a team.
