Howard Beck of the New York Times reports that it is "a near certainty" that Stephon Marbury will not return to the Knicks next season, according to people with close ties to both Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni.
The sources cited by Beck spoke anonymously because the information was disclosed privately and because Marbury's imminent departure has apparently not yet been discussed with Marbury himself.
It is unclear whether Marbury will be traded, bought out or waived.
Free-agent Chris Duhon agreed to terms with the Knicks on Friday and is likely to take over the starting point guard job in New York.
