Knicks' Miles McBride: Disappointing series continues
Rotowire
McBride had four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to Detroit in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
McBride was a non-factor for the fifth straight game, an unsurprising fact given the shortness of the rotation in New York. To this point in the series, McBride has averaged just 4.0 points and 0.8 three-pointers in 15.8 minutes per game.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Quiet in 19 minutes
Rotowire
McBride recorded five points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes during Sunday's 94-93 victory over the Pistons in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Jalen Brunson briefly left the game in the third quarter after aggravating his troublesome right ankle injury that caused him to miss 15 games towards the end of the regular season. Still, he did return in the fourth quarter and looked really strong. Still, it will be worth monitoring his status in case any swelling shows up. McBride has played a minimal role in the postseason so far with 4.0 points, 1.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes across four contests.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Probable for Tuesday
Rotowire
McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Boston.
McBride made his return to action in Sunday's 112-98 win over the Suns after an eight-game absence due to the left groin strain/contusion. He recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists and two steals across 16 minutes in the victory. The 24-year-old guard made it through that contest without any setbacks and should be available Tuesday, though he won't be in store for a major uptick in playing time unless Jalen Brunson (ankle) -- who is also listed as probable -- surprisingly ends up sitting out.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Available to play Sunday
Rotowire
McBride (groin) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Suns, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride will return to the floor after missing the previous eight games due to a left groin strain/contusion. New York finally has its backcourt back to full strength, as Cameron Payne (ankle) returned from a four-game absence in Saturday's win over the Hawks, while Jalen Brunson (ankle) is back in action Sunday following a 15-game absence. With Brunson taking back his spot in the starting five, McBride will come off the bench and is likely to see a drop in playing time after averaging 34.0 minutes per game while playing on the top unit in each of his last seven outings prior to getting hurt.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Game-time call Sunday
Rotowire
McBride (groin) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Suns, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
McBride has missed the last eight games due to a left groin strain/contusion, but after practicing Friday, he looks like he has a chance to be available for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Prior to getting hurt, McBride had started in his last seven appearances and averaged 34.0 minutes per contest, but he'll be ticketed for a bench role as well as a reduction in playing time with starting point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) set to return Sunday following a 15-game absence.

Rotowire
McBride (groin) took part in Friday's practice, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
McBride, who hasn't played since March 20, could be on the verge of a return from a left groin strain. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Cameron Payne (ankle) also practiced Friday, so New York could have its top three point guards back in action as soon as Saturday versus the Hawks.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
McBride (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Cameron Payne will likely start at point guard in place of McBride, who had been filling in for Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the top unit in each of the last seven games. While Payne should see the brunt of the minutes at point guard, the Knicks could also make room in the rotation for either Tyler Kolek or Delon Wright as Payne's backup.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
McBride (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

The 24-year-old posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and one block across 36 minutes. If McBride joins Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the sideline Saturday, Cameron Payne and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Deemed questionable Thursday
Rotowire
McBride is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Hornets due to a left groin contusion.
McBride has started in the Knicks' last six contests in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle). After logging 31 minutes in Wednesday's 120-105 loss to the Spurs and finishing with 11 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five assists and three rebounds, McBride is nursing an injury that puts his status in jeopardy for the second leg of a back-to-back set. If McBride is sidelined Thursday, Cameron Payne would likely replace him in the starting five.

Rotowire
McBride provided 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 133-104 victory over the Kings.
Making a start for the injured Jalen Brunson (ankle), McBride certainly made the most of his opportunity. He's going to be a popular pickup for the final stretch, as Brunson is likely to miss at least a couple weeks of action. In three starts this season, McBride holds averages of 17.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.7 three-pointers.
