McBride (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.
McBride will miss his fourth consecutive game, which is concerning for the Knicks because prior to his absence, he was a key contributor among the bench unit, averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks over 26.3 minutes. After getting over an illness, McBride sustained inflammation in his left knee that will continue to keep him out through at least Wednesday night. His next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Jazz.

McBride missed the previous two contests due to an illness, but he's now being listed with left knee inflammation, which he had been playing through before the aliment sidelined him for the first time this season.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
McBride is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to left knee inflammation, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride continues to manage a knee issue but hasn't missed a game yet this season. He posted 15 points (6-12 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, showing no signs of an injury. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Cameron Payne (hamstring) are also questionable for the second night of New York's back-to-back set, so the Knicks' backcourt depth could be in serious jeopardy versus Chicago.

The 24-year-old has been the Knicks' top option off the bench through nine regular-season outings, during which he has averaged 11.2 points, 2.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals while shooting 44.0 percent across 26.8 minutes per game.

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

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

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