MILES MCBRIDE NEWS

Not dressed Friday McBride is not dressed for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards for an undisclosed reason, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact McBride started Tuesday's preseason game. It is unclear if he is hurt or sidelined for another reason, given it is simply an exhibition contest. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, the Knicks' regular starters, are in the backcourt against Washington. McBride is expected to be a rotational contributor in the backcourt this season.

Moves back to bench McBride is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact McBride was among the starters in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Hornets, but he'll move back to the bench since head coach Tom Thibodeau has decided to open this preseason finale with his best five, which includes Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart in the backcourt. McBride figures to be a regular contributor off the bench in the regular season, though, as he can play in both backcourt roles indistinctively.

Joining starters Tuesday McBride will start in Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact With the Knicks deciding to rest their usual starters Tuesday, McBride will enter the starting lineup. The 24-year-old missed last Wednesday's preseason game against the Wizards due to an illness but returned for Sunday's matchup with the Timberwolves, so he should be ready for a full workload with Jalen Brunson (rest), Josh Hart (rest) and Mikal Bridges (rest) all out.

Set to reprise secondary role McBride (toe) is healthy and set to reprise a secondary role for the Knicks in 2024-25, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact McBride needed surgery on the pinky toe of his right foot in June but is full go heading into training camp. The 2021 second-round pick took on a leading role at times last season when Jalen Brunson was unavailable. McBride made 16 starts, including the postseason, and averaged 18.0 points, 3.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 42.6 minutes during those contests. However, Brunson is also healthy heading into training camp, plus the Knicks bolstered their backcourt by trading for Mikal Bridges this offseason, pushing McBride down the depth chart. McBride should compete with Donte DiVincenzo, Cameron Payne and rookie Tyler Kolek for backup guard minutes to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Does Knicks' Miles McBride Deserve a Larger Role? The New York Knicks could value Miles McBridge more after all of the improving he has done.

AUGUST 28 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Undergoes toe procedure The Knicks announced Thursday that McBride underwent a procedure on the pinky toe on his right foot earlier this week, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact The team didn't provide an official timeline for McBride's recovery, but he's expected to resume full basketball activities later in the summer, which puts him on track to be ready to go for the start of training camp in the fall. During his third NBA season in 2023-24, McBride struggled to find consistent playing time early in the campaign when the Knicks were in better health, but he took on a sizable role as injuries began to pile up over the course of the season. After the All-Star break, McBride appeared in 39 of the Knicks' 40 games (including playoffs) and averaged 11.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest. Though he excelled in a supporting role when given major minutes, McBride will likely see a stark drop in playing time in 2024-25 with the Knicks having acquired Mikal Bridges and re-signed OG Anunoby (hamstring) this offseason.

Returns to bench McBride won't start Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact With OG Anunoby (hamstring) returning from a four-game absence and Josh Hart playing through an abdomen injury he suffered in Game 6, McBride will shift to his usual reserve role. McBride has scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 15.8 points on 46.2 percent shooting during that stretch.

Enters starting lineup McBride will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact The Knicks have dropped two games in a row and the series is tied, so they will shake things up by going smaller. With McBride starting, Precious Achiuwa will head to the bench. McBride was terrific in Sunday's Game 4, scoring 16 points with five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes.

Impact McBride managed just four points in the win, struggling to find any real rhythm on the offensive end. Although his role has been somewhat limited to this point, OG Anunoby (hamstring) going down could open up an interesting opportunity. Should Anunoby be forced to miss time, look for McBride to potentially slide into the starting lineup for Game 3.

Impact McBride boomed for 16 points in the first half, fueled by sharp shooting from beyond the arc. McBride had more to his bag though, as he also hit a tough running layup high off the glass over Paul Reed to give the Knicks the lead midway through the fourth quarter. McBride's stellar defense and season-long 41.0 percent clip on 3.9 threes per game has him locked into a postseason rotation role.

McBride has averaged 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Available for Friday's game McBride (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues McBride supplied seven points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 win over Chicago.

Impact McBride came off the bench again Tuesday, continuing to play reduced minutes following the return of OG Anunoby. After a brief period of relevance, McBride is now someone who can be released back to the waiver wire.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 19 points, drains four treys McBride closed Friday's 108-100 loss to Chicago with 19 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes.

Impact McBride moved to a bench role with OG Anunoby (elbow) returning to the starting lineup, but he still enjoyed extended minutes and a solid stat line, particularly in the scoring column. McBride has been a solid contributor for the Knicks in recent weeks, averaging 18.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to bench McBride will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Bulls, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact This is an expected move with OG Anunoby back in the starting lineup. With the Knicks still very shorthanded, Mcbride figures to maintain a large role with the second unit.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for 24 in Tuesday's start McBride ended Tuesday's 109-99 loss to the Heat with 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 45 minutes.

Impact Making his eighth straight start while OG Anunoby (elbow) remains sidelined, McBride topped 20 points for the fourth time during that stretch. The third-year guard has averaged 19.8 points, 4.0 threes, 3.4 assists, 2.8 boards and 1.5 steals during his starting run while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 46.4 percent (32-for-69) from long distance, but his minutes and usage are both likely to decline as soon as Anunoby is ready to return.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 19 points Sunday McBride recorded 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 46 minutes during Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Thunder.

Impact McBride continues to make an impact in a starting role, and the shooting guard has earned a decent role in the rotation with his strong play since being promoted into a starting role due to emergency reasons. Over his last seven starts, McBride is averaging 19.1 points, 3.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while logging an impressive 44.9 minutes per contest.
