Knicks' Miles McBride: Listed as out for Thursday
McBride (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
A sprained left ankle is resulting in a seventh straight absence for McBride, who can be deemed week-to-week until New York reveals if he's made significant progress in his recovery. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) also out, the Knicks should continue to have a longer leash for both Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek off the bench.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Chance to play Christmas Day
Yabusele (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
An illness prevented Yabusele from playing Monday against the Timberwolves, but he has a chance to return for Christmas Day. He averaged 27.1 minutes per game across 70 regular-season games (43 starts) for the 76ers in 2023-24, but he has averaged just 9.6 minutes off the bench across 26 outings for the Knicks to open the 2025-26 regular season.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Still out with shoulder sprain
Shamet (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Shamet was given a four-week timetable for a return after being diagnosed with a sprained right shoulder back on Nov. 26, though the Knicks haven't yet offered an update on his recovery. With the veteran sharpshooter still looking week-to-week, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek should both continue to handle an expanded role.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Cleared to play Christmas Day
Anunoby (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Anunoby was unable to play in the Knicks' win over the Timberwolves on Monday due to left ankle soreness, but the veteran forward has been cleared to play Christmas Day. Anunoby missed nine games earlier in the season due to a left hamstring strain, and since returning Dec. 5 he has averaged 15.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Playing Christmas Day
Brunson (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Brunson was held out of Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves due to a lingering right ankle injury, but he will make his return to the lineup Christmas Day, which means Tyler Kolek will revert to the bench. Across his nine outings in December, Brunson has averaged 30.3 points on 49.0 percent shooting (including 38.0 percent from three on 7.9 3PA/G), 7.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 36.9 minutes per game.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-double in defeat
Hart amassed 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Hart came close to his second triple-double of the season Tuesday but settled for a double-double in the Knicks' loss. The versatile wing has been a regular in the starting lineup since Nov. 24, averaging 14.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 35.2 minutes across 13 starts.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Nears triple-double in first start
Kolek racked up 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Kolek made his first career NBA start Tuesday in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle) and made the most of the opportunity, recording his second career double-double while finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The Marquette product has carved out an expanded role in his second season, logging 20-plus minutes in three of the past four games and seeing double-digit minutes in 17 of 25 appearances overall. Provided Brunson returns, Kolek is likely to move back to a bench role for the Knicks' Christmas matchup Thursday with the Cavaliers, though he should remain part of the rotation.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Shines in return to Minnesota
Towns logged 40 points (14-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during the Knicks' 115-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
It was Towns' second game in Minnesota since being traded by the Timberwolves to the Knicks in October 2024. The superstar big man put on a show in his return to Target Center, carrying the Knicks' offense in the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). Towns finished with a season-high 40 points, though it wasn't enough for New York to come away with the road win. It was his 19th double-double of the season, which ranks third most in the NBA behind Nikola Jokic (26) and Jalen Johnson (20). Towns has averaged 23.6 points on 54.6 percent shooting along with 11.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.7 minutes per game since Dec. 2.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Starting Tuesday
Robinson will start against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
With OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson both sidelined with ankle issues Tuesday, Tyler Kolek and Robinson will join the first unit. In 10 starts so far this season, the big man has averaged 4.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 17.9 minutes per tilt.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Making first NBA start Tuesday
Kolek is in the Knicks' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Kolek has earned a larger rotational role of late -- especially since his performance in the Knicks' NBA Cup Championship victory over the Spurs -- and the second-year guard will make his first career NBA start Tuesday due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). Kolek has averaged 7.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds over 19.8 minutes per game over his last four regular-season outings.

Knicks' Pacome Dadiet: Recalled to NBA
New York recalled Dadiet from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
Dadiet may play a role within New York's rotation Tuesday, with OG Anunoby (ankle), Guerschon Yabusele (illness) and Jalen Brunson (ankle) all out against the Timberwolves. However, once those players return from injury, Dadiet will likely be sent back down to the G League.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Out with illness
Yabusele (illness) will not play Tuesday against Minnesota.
Yabusele has seen single-digit minutes in three of his last four games, so his absence won't make many waves for fantasy purposes. With OG Anunoby (ankle) also out, Mohamed Diawara could draw another start.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Won't play Tuesday
Anunoby is out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to left ankle soreness.
It sounds like a minor issue for Anunoby, who can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Thursday's battle with the Cavaliers. Mohamed Diawara appears to be in line for a spot start Tuesday, and Mitchell Robinson should also see more playing time in the frontcourt.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Won't play Tuesday
Brunson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves.
The Knicks are calling this right ankle injury management, so this is essentially a maintenance day for the star guard. Presumably, Brunson will be back for Christmas Day against the Cavaliers. Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson could see extended run with Brunson out of the lineup Tuesday.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Drops 18 points in win
Anunoby ended Sunday's 132-125 win over the Heat with 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes.
This was another solid all-around performance from Anunoby as New York's two-way engine. Through 19 games, Anunoby is on pace for fifth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with averages of 15.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.
