Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Upgraded to available
Kolek (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Kolek is battling right ankle soreness, but he'll unsurprisingly overcome a probable tag Wednesday to suit up. The guard has averaged 9.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per contest in his last seven games, though his playing time may continue to drop now that Miles McBride is back in the mix.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Likely to play against Spurs
Kolek is probable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs with right ankle soreness.
Kolek played through the issue during Monday's win over New Orleans, and the expectation remains the same for Wednesday. The 12 minutes he saw Monday were his fewest since the Dec. 9 win in Toronto, so it looks like Miles McBride's recent return has a drastic effect on Kolek's playing time.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Suiting up Monday
Kolek (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Kolek is managing right ankle soreness, but he's giving it a go Monday. Miles McBride (ankle) is ready to return to the lineup, so Kolek may be in line for a slight decrease in playing time. Across his past six appearances, Kolek has averaged 10.3 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Questionable for Monday
Kolek is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans with right ankle soreness.
This is a new injury for Kolek, though it does sound minor. While Kolek is in jeopardy of missing this contest, the Knicks could be getting Miles McBride back from his left ankle sprain -- McBride is listed as probable.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Returning to bench role Thursday
Kolek is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Kolek poured in 20 points and notched a double-double in his first NBA start Tuesday but will shift back to the bench with Jalen Brunson (ankle) returning for Christmas Day. Even in a reserve role, the second-year guard should continue to see meaningful run after averaging 16.1 minutes per game over the Knicks' past 15 contests.

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' 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' Tyler Kolek: Records first career double-double
Kolek chipped in 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 win over the Pacers.
Kolek had a breakout game in the NBA Cup championship against the Spurs and put up a career-best performance in Thursday's win over the Pacers. The 24-year-old guard stuffed the stat in his most minutes off the bench this season, leading the team in assists and shooting an efficient 70 percent from the field. The Marquette product has taken advantage of Miles McBride (ankle) being out of the lineup, playing 20 or more minutes in two straight games after not surpassing 17 in any other appearance this season.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Season-best performance
Kolek notched 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over San Antonio.
Kolek scored a season-high 14 points, playing a key role down the stretch as the Knicks outlasted the Spurs to win the NBA Cup. Although this was an encouraging performance, it is likely an outlier when compared to the rest of the season. Prior to Tuesday, Kolek had played no more than 17 minutes in all 21 appearances thus far this season. We would need to see sustained production before adding him outside of very deep fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Muted role continues
Kolek finished Tuesday's 117-101 victory over the Raptors with two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across eight minutes.
Kolek logged single-digit minutes for the second straight game, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece. Although he has seen the court in all but four games thus far, it's been slim pickings when it comes to production. Through 20 appearances, Kolek is averaging just 3.6 points and 1.9 assists in 9.9 minutes per game.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Dishes five assists in win
Kolek closed with six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 victory over the Hornets.
Kolek has now played at least 13 minutes in his last three games and in six of his last seven, averaging 5.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks in that span. Kolek has emerged as the team's backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson with Miles McBride sliding into the starting lineup due to OG Anunoby's (hamstring) absence. Kolek will likely continue to hold down this role until Landry Shamet (shoulder) returns from injury.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Season-high five assists
Kolek had two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 113-100 win over the Nets.
Kolek handed out a season-high five assists, logging 17 minutes for the second straight game. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) sidelined, Kolek has been able to carve out a role as a backup option behind Jalen Brunson. With that said, there is no reason to consider him a viable fantasy asset outside deeper formats.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Recalled to NBA
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
Kolek will continue to provide emergency depth at the NBA level. In nine regular-season appearances with New York, Kolek is averaging 7.2 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Recalled to NBA
The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Thursday.
The Knicks assigned and recalled Kolek during the same day for two straight days, and they often did this in 2024-25 as well. He's likely to remain a fringe rotation player at the NBA level.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Assigned to G League
New York assigned Kolek to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
Kolek has been a fringe rotation player for New York early on, so this move is an effort to keep him sharp with some extra reps.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Sees 11 minutes in loss
Kolek logged five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
Kolek continues to see scraps at the end of New York's bench. Through four games, he's averaging 12.0 minutes per contest with 4.8 points, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting from the field.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Leading scorer in preseason loss
Kolek totaled 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes in Monday's 120-103 preseason loss to the Wizards.
Kolek caught fire Monday with several Knicks regulars resting, leading all scorers with 20 points off the bench. The Marquette product saw limited action as a rookie last season, averaging 7.2 minutes across 41 regular-season games, and faces an uphill climb for consistent minutes with the offseason additions of Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Clarkson.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Scores six points vs. Philadelphia
Kolek tallied six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 exhibition win over the 76ers.
Kolek was one of 14 players who came off the bench for New York during the team's preseason opener. He'll likely play a role on this squad once the regular season begins after the Marquette product suited up for 41 regular-season games with the team during the 2024-25 campaign.

Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Dishes out team-high five assists
Kolek finished with 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 91-88 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
Kolek struggled with his shooting from beyond the arc but was the team's best distributor. The Marquette product has dished out at least four assists in each of his last two games during the Las Vegas Summer League.
