Knicks beat experience in context

Simon & Schuster’s biography states that Katz covered the New York Knicks exclusively for The Athletic from 2021 through 2024. He subsequently moved into broader national NBA reporting, while continuing to address the Knicks through reporting, audio and his book.

Professional sources use different labels for his current role, so this page does not assign a definitive formal title.

Beyond the Knicks

Katz’s Knicks expertise forms one part of a wider reporting focus. His work after 2024 extends across the NBA rather than remaining limited to one team.
