Knicks make ‘point’ to look at Cavaliers’ Sessions

As the Baron Davis injury saga gets increasingly murky, Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni didn’t dismiss a query about the club’s potential interest in a long-time target, Cavaliers point guard Ramon Sessions.

D’Antoni didn’t knock down the possibility of upgrading the roster, and the Knicks also are linked to free agent Kenyon Martin. The Cavaliers are shopping Sessions, and the Knicks have had interest since 2009 free agency when they were close to a deal.

Perhaps D’Antoni didn’t evade the question because he’s trying to light a fire under Davis, whose debut is delayed because he was unable to compete in scrimmages Monday or yesterday because of back soreness.

Sessions played under assistant Dan D’Antoni in South Carolina’s AAU program. Ex-Knicks president Donnie Walsh backed out of a deal in 2009 when he feared it would eat up too much of their 2010 cap room after hearing new salary-cap projections, according to a source.

Sessions has a year left on his pact at $4.5 million, and the Cavaliers are building around rookie Kyrie Irving and would like either a draft pick, cash or young player at another position. The Knicks only can trade their 2016 first-rounder under league rules, but combo guard Toney Douglas and injured rookie center Josh Harrellson could be packaged.

“[General manager] Glen [Grunwald], I’m sure he’s sitting there going what could we do if Plan A doesn’t work,’’ D’Antoni said. “Plan B, Plan C. He’s looking into every possibility. Whether there’s a possibility or not, I don’t think so. I’m sure it would be thoroughly discussed and looked at. Whatever will make our team better we’ll do it.’’

Perhaps the Knicks are realizing the iffy proposition that is Davis, who could debut next week at the earliest. Signs are on the wall that if he comes back from herniated disks, he could have trouble maintaining his health amid a grueling schedule.

Davis was scheduled to return on last week’s road trip. He participated in 5-on-0 drills yesterday but was not allowed to do contact. Davis returned to practice nine days ago.

“He did more today than yesterday,’’ D’Antoni said. “I don’t know if he’ll be ready next week. I don’t know if he’ll be ready tomorrow. I don’t know if he’ll be ready in a month. We’re playing it by ear. The best-case scenario is next week and he stays healthy all year.’’

Martin and JR Smith are two of the Chinese Basketball Association players who will soon be eligible later this month once their teams’ seasons end. Smith scored 60 points in the playoffs yesterday but his father told Zagsblog.com the Knicks’ $2.5 million mini-midlevel exception won’t cut it.

The Post has reported Carmelo Anthony would like Martin, but the Knicks would have to cut a player to make room.

“Those are things you monitor,’’ D’Antoni said. “Things you keep your eye on. We have the $2.5 million [room] exception left and we’ll look at it. If it makes sense, we’ll do it in a heartbeat. If it doesn’t make sense, we won’t. Most of the time it’s agents saying they’re looking at my guy to drive up the price elsewhere, but I’m sure we’ll do our due diligence.’’
