Miles McBride to be Re-Evaluated in One Week

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, Ian Begley of SYN reports. McBride injured his left ankle in a contest against the Orlando Magic last Sunday. He has already missed one game and won't be able to help his team in the NBA Cup semifinal matchup against the Magic this weekend and a potential final on Tuesday. Jordan Clarkson will play a more active role in the rotation until McBride returns. The veteran guard put up 12 points and had three rebounds in 26 minutes when New York defeated the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Karl-Anthony Towns Back in Action Against Toronto

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will play on Tuesday against Toronto. KAT wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Orlando Magic, marking his first absence of the 2025 campaign. Despite appearing on the injury report and carrying a questionable designation, he'll be back on the floor for the NBA Cup meeting. In Towns' only game versus the Raptors this season, he amassed 22 points and eight rebounds while shooting 25.0% from behind the arc. Of course, fantasy managers are hoping that was an isolated incident. With Towns back in the lineup, Mitchell Robinson, coming off a six-point, 13-rebound, one-block effort, will presumably head to the bench.

Miles McBride Ruled Out With Ankle Sprain Against Raptors

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game in Toronto after exiting Sunday's win over Orlando. His absence frees up backcourt minutes, putting veteran scorer Jordan Clarkson on the streaming radar despite a quiet zero-point outing in 17 minutes Sunday. McBride had averaged 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists over his last five games, shooting 45.5 percent from the field, so his removal creates a clearer secondary role for Clarkson and a slight usage bump for the remaining starters. Managers in shallow formats can stream accordingly.

Karl-Anthony Towns Iffy for Tuesday

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is considered questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Toronto Raptors. The big man is dealing with tightness in his left calf. Towns practiced on Monday, which is a good sign that he might be ready to return from a one-game absence. Assuming Towns remains out, the Knicks will lean on Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti at the center position. Robinson returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds in 25 minutes. He also contributed well on the defensive end. Hukporti had six points, seven rebounds, and three blocks off the bench in 23 minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Against Orlando

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) won't play on Sunday against Orlando. Despite making sporadic appearances on the injury report, KAT hasn't missed a game. However, he experienced left calf tightness during the meeting with the Utah Jazz on Friday night, so the team will keep him out. Towns next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday, when the Knicks face the Toronto Raptors in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 4.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in nine starts, is the favorite to replace Towns in the rotation.

OG Anunoby Returns to Knicks LIneup Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) will return from a nine-game absence on Friday against the Utah Jazz, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. He has been named a starter for the matchup. The Knicks initially listed Anunoby as questionable for the game. He has missed a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain, so it would be surprising if Anunoby played big minutes right off the bat. As a result of Anunoby's return, Miles McBride will drop to the bench. He will probably still have a significant role in the rotation, but coming off the bench will make it more difficult for McBride to make a fantasy impact.

Landry Shamet Sidelined at Least Four Weeks

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, New York Knicks guard/forward Landry Shamet (shoulder) will be out at least four weeks due to a right shoulder sprain. Before the setback, the 28-year-old secured his spot as a starter and was shooting 42.2 percent from beyond the arc. He also averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five outings. With Shamet out, fantasy managers could look to Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson as possible streaming options.

Landry Shamet Out for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Shament will be out for the second game due to a sprained right shoulder. The 28-year-old has averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five outings while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from beyond the arc. His extended absence will likely continue to lead to Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson seeing extra minutes.

Landry Shamet Sidelined Against Nets

New York Knicks guard/forward Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Monday's meeting with Brooklyn after exiting early against Orlando. Shamet had averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five games while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from deep. His absence shifts backcourt opportunities to Jordan Clarkson, who logged 15 points in 33 minutes last game and already holds a stable sixth-man role. Miles McBride could re-enter the rotation if coach Mike Brown expands the guard mix, but he remains a deeper-league speculative play.

Mitchell Robinson Under the Weather, Out Versus Brooklyn

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) won't play on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, marking his sixth absence of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old isn't hurt, which is always a plus for fantasy managers, considering his lengthy injury history. However, he's not feeling well, marking his first absence since November 11. With that in mind, Robinson might be back when the Knicks play in Charlotte on Wednesday evening. In the meantime, Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably slide over to the five spot, Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are in line to see more minutes than usual, with one of them potentially entering the starting lineup. Precious Achiuwa may also see more action, although he's averaged only 2.7 points and 2.4 boards in 14 games this season, making him tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint, even with the chance of an expanded role.

Jalen Brunson Probable For Saturday's Matchup With The Magic

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's contest against the Orlando Magic. There's little worry here about Brunson sitting this one out. The All-NBA guard returned to action on Wednesday in Dallas after a two-game absence and played 34 minutes, right in line with his season-long average. He scored 28 points against the Mavericks, also in line with his scoring average. The reigning Clutch Player of the Year has seen a slight dip in his shooting percentages, but remains one of the league's best guards.

Jalen Brunson Returns From Two-Game Absence

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, Brunson has been named a starter for the matchup, alongside Landry Shamet, Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mitchell Robinson. The team initially listed the star guard as questionable for the game. Brunson ended up missing only two games with a right ankle sprain. Miles McBride will move back to the bench on Wednesday night.

Jalen Brunson Questionable for Wednesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. A right ankle sprain may keep the Knicks star on the shelf for a third consecutive game. If Brunson can't return on Wednesday, Miles McBride will probably continue to start. He has done well in the first unit this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, although McBride's shooting numbers have been poor. Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet are also players who benefit from Brunson's absence. The latter has joined McBride in the starting lineup, filling in for OG Anunoby (hamstring).

Miles McBride Available Monday Night

New York Knicks shooting guard Miles McBride (personal) will be available Monday when the team takes on the Miami Heat. McBride has already missed a pair of games this season due to a personal matter. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out of action, McBride could see an increased role in tonight's game. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while playing 22.8 minutes per game. Despite the loss of Brunson, playmaking duties will still likely land with Miles Bridges and Josh Hart, so don't expect a big influx of assists on the stat sheet for McBride tonight. He should still be started in all formats Monday night.

Jalen Brunson Unavailable Monday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss a second consecutive contest on Monday against the Miami Heat. He is considered day-to-day after spraining his right ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. Following Brunson's exit from the lineup, Miles McBride (personal) made his second start of the season on Friday against the Heat. There could be another change in the lineup on Monday night, as McBride is listed as questionable for the game. Landry Shamet or Jordan Clarkson could hop into the first unit. The two made a massive impact in Friday's game, scoring a combined 60 points in New York's 140-132 victory.

OG Anunoby to Sit Out at Least Two Weeks

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is expected to be out for a couple of weeks. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Anunoby will be re-evaluated in two weeks. He will remain behind as the team begins a five-game road trip on Monday night against the Miami Heat. Anunoby averages the fourth-most minutes on the Knicks squad, meaning his absence will open up a big chunk of additional playing time for the rest of the crew. Josh Hart, Landry Shamet, and Jordan Clarkson are set to benefit the most from Anunoby's absence.

OG Anunoby Suffers Hamstring Injury on Friday Night

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) didn't return to Friday's NBA Cup win over the Miami Heat. He logged only five minutes before exiting, finishing with two points and three rebounds. The Knicks were already down Jalen Brunson (ankle), who could miss more time moving ahead. The same might be true for Anunoby, with the team reporting that the 28-year-old suffered a left hamstring strain. He's played as well as expected this season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and a career-high 2.1 assists in 11 appearances. Unfortunately, fantasy managers may not have him on Monday for the rematch with the Heat. Josh Hart may finally work his way into the starting lineup, although he'll still get minutes regardless of his role. Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet, combining for 60 points on Friday night, should draw streaming consideration, at least until Anunoby or Brunson are healthy enough to get back on the floor.

Jalen Brunson Out For at Least Friday with an Ankle Sprain

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss Friday's matchup with the Heat due to a Grade 1 ankle sprain suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Magic. Brunson will be evaluated daily, so it doesn't look like a serious or long-term issue at this point, but he could miss a few games depending on how he responds to treatment. The Knicks have the weekend off before facing the Heat in Miami on Monday, the Mavs in Dallas on Wednesday, and the Magic in Orlando next Saturday. For as long as Brunson is out, the rest of the Knicks' rotation will get increased usage, with Miles McBride possibly stepping into a big role in the starting lineup. Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby will all be lined up for more scoring responsibility for as long as the team is without their superstar playmaker.

Jalen Brunson Leaves The Garden in Walking Boot

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) was seen leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot Wednesday night. The team is yet to release an official statement, but head coach Mike Brown told reporters Brunson "rolled his right ankle". The team is set to face the Miami Heat at home on Friday. Brunson leads the team with 27.7 points and 6.6 assists per game. If Brunson misses time, Mikal Bridges could be called upon to shoulder the playmaking duties for the team. Bridges currently ranks second on the team with 5.2 assists per game.

Mitchell Robinson Considered Questionable for Tuesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable to play in Tuesday's clash against the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury-prone big man has featured in four of the past five contests, but Tuesday's game marks the start of a back-to-back, leaving Robinson with a question mark. He will likely sit out at least one of the upcoming games. A lingering ankle issue has limited Robinson to four appearances this season. He has averaged 5.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 16.5 minutes. The Knicks have used Robinson as a starter each time he's played, meaning a spot in the first unit will be left open if he exits the lineup. Ariel Hukporti has occasionally been a starter this season, but he's still had a limited role in the rotation. Josh Hart probably stands to benefit the most from Robinson's absence.
