According to multiple reports, the New York Knicks will hire former Phoenix Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek to take over in the same capacity at Madison Square Garden.

The reported hiring comes after Knicks president Phil Jackson met with deposed Pacers head coach Frank Vogel, and David Blatt, who got ousted by the Cavaliers in January.

Here's how the local sports pages treated Matt Harvey, who suffered a bladder infection during spring training:
