Overview
- Head coach Mike Brown, via SNY’s Ian Begley, confirmed late Tuesday that Miles McBride has advanced to full scrimmaging as he recovers from core muscle surgery.
- McBride went through his usual 6:15 pregame workout before the Pelicans game on Tuesday, but he stayed on the injury report and did not play in the 121-116 win.
- The Knicks have not set a return date, though some outlets project his earliest chance to be Thursday at Charlotte, which remains unconfirmed by the team.
- McBride has been out since late January and had sports hernia surgery on February 6, after averaging 12.9 points on 42% three-point shooting with strong on-ball defense.
- New York has won seven straight to reach 48-25, and guards like Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, and Jose Alvarado have covered minutes while his expected return would deepen the rotation for the final nine regular-season games.
