There is evidence some are buying hard into the Knicks’ patient rebuilding plan, despite five straight seasons of missing the playoffs.
According to a Garden official, the season-ticket renewal rate hit 95 percent with training camp set to get underway Monday. That’s up from an 89 percent renewal rate last season and one of the Knicks’ highest renewal rates in years. It’s a stunner, considering their star player, Kristaps Porzingis, has no timetable for his return and the Knicks are expected to land in the lottery again.
The uptick doesn’t mean the Knicks will be a nightly Garden sellout of 19,812.
