Knicks Clear Miles McBride to Play vs. Rockets After Injury Scare

The upgrade suggests the scare did not derail New York’s late-season plans.

Overview

  • Coach Mike Brown said McBride is “good to go” for the Knicks’ game in Houston on Tuesday.
  • The guard had exited Sunday’s loss in Oklahoma City after about 11 minutes when he collided with Lu Dort while diving for a loose ball.
  • Before the upgrade, New York listed him as questionable with the same core muscle and pelvic surgery designation used during his two-month absence.
  • Landry Shamet remains out with a right knee contusion, and Houston’s report notes only long-term absences for Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams.
  • McBride’s return restores a key defender and shooter as the Knicks look to settle their rotation over the final seven regular-season games before the playoffs.
