Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns Claim 2026 Shooting Stars Crown

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns, joined by former Knick Allan Houston, won the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday, outscoring Team Cameron in the final round. The Knicks trio closed with 47 points after posting 31 in the opener to advance. While the exhibition carries no fantasy weight, both stars enter the second half in strong form. Brunson is averaging 26.6 points, 3.0 threes, 4.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes over his last five games, while Towns has posted 19.4 points and 12.4 rebounds in 28.8 minutes. Their usage keeps Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart in complementary roles.

Jeremy Sochan Heading to New York

Forward/center Jeremy Sochan is expected to sign with the New York Knicks once he clears waivers, per ESPN. San Antonio moved on after Sochan fell out of the rotation amid a crowded frontcourt. In 28 games this season, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 68.8 percent at the line, a sharp dip from last season's 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds. He projects as a low-usage reserve behind OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns, limiting fantasy appeal to deep formats only.

Mitchell Robinson Available Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man was rested for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday versus Indiana, but is ready to provide cover to Karl-Anthony Towns at the No. 5 spot against Philadelphia. Robinson has posted 4.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this month. New York's bigs will contend with a Sixers frontcourt missing Joel Embiid (knee), which should make their job easier on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby Day-To-Day Entering All-Star Break

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is day-to-day entering the All-Star break, according to coach Mike Brown, after missing four straight games with a right toe issue and sitting out Wednesday against Philadelphia. The veteran wing's designation suggests he could return Feb. 19 versus Detroit. In his absence, Landry Shamet has started the last two games, posting 17 points with four three-pointers in 38 minutes against Indiana but just three points in 28 minutes versus Boston. Shamet is a volatile streamer, while Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges continue to see stable workloads and usage.

OG Anunoby To Miss Fourth Game With Toe Ailment

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) will sit out the team's final game before the NBA All-Star break on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be the fourth consecutive game that Anunoby has been sidelined. Veteran Landry Shamet has been starting in Anunoby's place the last two games, scoring three and 17 points. He'll likely pick up another start against the 76ers, with Mohamed Diawara and Jose Alvarado rounding out the rotation.

OG Anunoby Won't Play Tuesday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. He will miss the rematch of the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals due to a toe injury. This will be Anunoby's third consecutive absence after the Knicks initially listed him as questionable for Tuesday's game. Landry Shamet started in Anunoby's place on Sunday against Boston but had a poor game with three points. Mohamed Diawara and Jose Alvarado are also candidates for more minutes until Anunoby returns.

Josh Hart Leaves Friday's Blowout with Ankle Concern

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) exited Friday's loss to Detroit in the third quarter and did not return after aggravating a right ankle injury. He posted five points, six rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. Hart had already been managing a left ankle issue, putting his status for Sunday against Boston in doubt. If he misses time, Landry Shamet profiles as a points and threes streamer after averaging 14.5 points and 3.8 triples over his last four games. Jordan Clarkson would see a modest usage bump, while recently acquired Jose Alvarado could carve out a role once cleared to play.

OG Anunoby Won't Play on Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was initially listed as probable, but has now been downgraded to out for this game. It's not shocking to see the Knicks being cautious with Anunoby after he played 48 minutes during Wednesday's game. The absence of Anunoby should mean Mohamed Diawara will move into the starting five on Friday. The rookie forward hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season. He finished with five points across 14 minutes of action on Wednesday. Josh Hart might end up benefiting the most, even with Diawara drawing the start.

Josh Hart Available Against Pistons

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will suit up against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. The versatile veteran is dealing with a sprained left ankle, but he is ready to play. New York listed Hart as questionable on the initial injury report before upgrading him to probable earlier in the day. Hart has averaged 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.0 steals across his last eight outings.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Friday

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) won't play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. Due to a right eye laceration, the Knicks listed Toews as questionable on the initial injury report. He was downgraded to doubtful earlier on Friday and has now been ruled out. His absence will likely give Mitchell Robinson the starting center role, while Ariel Hukporti will get a chance to log extended minutes off the bench. Whether Robinson starts or not, his stats have stayed about the same throughout the season. Towns' first chance to return will be on Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

Miles McBride to Miss 6-8 Weeks

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (abdomen) will miss 6-8 weeks, SNY's Ian Begley reports. He could be out for the rest of the regular season following core muscle surgery. McBride's absence will leave the Knicks without an important rotational piece. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.9 points this season, along with 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. However, the arrival of Jose Alvarado from New Orleans will help fill the backcourt void. Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could also be more involved in the rotation going forward.

OG Anunoby Listed as Probable for Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Anunoby has a sore right toe but is expected to play in the matchup between the Eastern Conference's top two teams. Anunoby had a quiet five-point outing when the Knicks faced Detroit a month ago in this season's first meeting. Given his recent form, Anunoby is poised for a much stronger showing on Friday. He has averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 steals across his last eight outings.

Josh Hart Might Miss Another Game on Friday

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Detroit. The veteran sprained his left ankle during a recent meeting with the Washington Wizards and wasn't available for Wednesday's double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. Jordan Clarkson entered the starting lineup, finishing with 11 points. If Hart remains on the shelf against the Pistons, Clarkson would presumably remain with the first-five, although Landry Shamet, who is coming off a 16-point effort, has a higher upside for fantasy managers.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Versus Pistons

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is questionable for Friday's encounter with the Pistons. KAT suffered a laceration above his right eye during the double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. It forced him to briefly exit the contest, although he still finished with a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double. Considering the 30-year-old played through the injury on Wednesday, it would be surpising if he didn't suit up. However, if Towns isn't out there, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 3.7 points, 8.4 boards, and 1.1 blocks in 13 starts, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. While those aren't the most impressive statistical marks, Robinson could be more productive if Josh Hart (ankle) and OG Anunoby (toe) don't play.

Miles McBride Will Miss Extended Time

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (abdominal) will undergo surgery on Friday on a core muscle injury, commonly referred to as a sports hernia, and he could be sidelined until the playoffs, according to reports from Fred Katz and James L. Edwards III. McBride was averaging 28 minutes per game this season for New York, producing 12.9 points, 2.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.9 3PM per contest. The Knicks added Jose Alvarado from the Pelicans to help cover for his absence, while Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson will still fill in depth minutes behind Jalen Brunson as well. The Knicks will hope to get McBride back for the playoffs, but they have the depth to cover until he's back. In most re-draft leagues, better options than McBride are available, so there's no need to hold him in an injury spot.

Jose Alvarado • PG • Knicks

Jose Alvarado Traded to the Knicks

The New Orleans Pelicans are trading guard Jose Alvarado to the New York Knicks in exchange for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks, and cash. The Knicks will get a defense-oriented backup point guard that will give their second unit great energy, especially with the news that Miles McBride will undergo surgery for a sports hernia and could be out until the playoffs. It will be a homecoming for Alvarado, who is from New York, and should quickly be a fan favorite at Madison Square Garden. The fifth-year guard was averaging 7.9 points, 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes per game this season, and with him on the move, rookie Jeremiah Fears should get more work off the bench for the Pelicans, who continue to go with a starting five that doesn't have a true point guard. Alvarado may not be as prolific a scorer as McBride, but his role off the Knicks' bench could boost his fantasy value slightly.

Josh Hart Ruled Out Wednesday Due to Ankle Injury

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) won't play Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Hart rolled his ankle during the third quarter of New York's blowout win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, setting up his absence tonight. Guard Miles McBride (ankle) will also sit out. Mohamed Diawara, who was also questionable with an ankle injury, is available to play against the Nuggets. He started a handful of games for Hart earlier this season with minimal production. Backups Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson should see more opportunities off the bench.

Josh Hart Hurt in Blowout Win

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) left Tuesday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards in the third period, Phillip Martinez of SNY reports. He exited midway through the third quarter with a left ankle sprain. Hart notched four points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in 22 minutes as a starter. The Knicks also lost Mohamed Diawara (ankle) in Tuesday's game. Luckily, both players were "moving well" postgame, so the duo likely won't miss much time. However, it's unclear whether they will be ready to play on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) didn't feature against the Wizards and could be back in the lineup as a starter if Hart can't play. Landry Shamet, who tallied 14 points on 4-for-6 three-point shooting Tuesday night, is also an option to start.

Miles McBride Misses Friday's Game

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ankle) will be absent for a second consecutive game on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. This was expected after McBride was downgraded to doubtful on the injury report earlier in the day. McBride's absence will secure expanded roles for Landry Shamet and Tyler Kolek, but neither player has provided consistent fantasy value. Still, Kolek impressed with his playmaking on Wednesday against Toronto, delivering 10 assists.

Josh Hart Active Against Trail Blazers

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will play against his former team, the Portland Trail Blazers, on Friday night, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. He was initially uncertain for the contest due to ankle soreness, but the team has officially listed him as available. Hart's offensive production tends to be inconsistent, but he's done a solid job overall for the Knicks. Across eight January appearances, Hart has averaged 11.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.0 steals. Among these games is an 18-point outing against Portland that occurred three weeks ago.
