McBride chipped in 20 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 130-119 loss to the 76ers.
McBride shifted back to a bench role after a spot start Friday and delivered a highly efficient outing, reaching the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season. He's now scored in double figures in four straight games since returning from an eight-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, including two 20-plus-point efforts. Even with the Knicks' improved depth this season, McBride remains a key role player thanks to his microwave scoring ability and defensive intensity.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
McBride (ankle) has progressed to solo on-court work but has yet to practice in a group setting, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports Friday.
McBride hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle and doesn't appear to be nearing a return in the immediate future. The 25-year-old guard can be considered week-to-week until the Knicks offer another update on his recovery. With McBride sidelined, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson will likely continue to see increased playing time.

Knicks' Miles McBride: May have high-ankle sprain
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Brown told reporters Tuesday that McBride is undergoing further tests on his injured ankle, but Stefan Bondy of The New York Post relays that McBride may have suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Knicks' win over the Magic on Sunday.
McBride was already diagnosed with an ankle sprain and ruled out for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup against the Raptors, but the injury may be more severe than initially thought. If further tests reveal a high-ankle sprain, that would likely make McBride week-to-week, which would open the door for Jordan Clarkson to take on an expanded role in the Knicks' rotation.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Out with ankle sprain
Rotowire
McBride (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
A left ankle sprain forced McBride to exit Sunday's win over the Magic, and the guard will require at least one game to recuperate. The Knicks don't have another contest scheduled until Dec. 18 in Indiana. McBride's absence should allow Jordan Clarkson to make his way into the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues.

Rotowire

McBride limped to the locker room near the end of the third and was unable to return due to an apparent leg injury. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup game against the Raptors, and if he's unable to suit up, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek will likely see increased minutes.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
McBride isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
McBride will retreat to the bench due to Jalen Brunson (ankle) being set to return from a two-game absence.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
McBride (personal) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is out again for New York, so McBride's status is worth monitoring closely with the team so shorthanded in the backcourt. McBride drew the start in Friday's win over the Heat, finishing with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists and three rebounds over 30 minutes. If he can't go, the Knicks will likely rely heavily on Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Starting sans Brunson
Rotowire
McBride is part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Miami, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
McBride will replace Jalen Brunson (ankle) in the starting lineup Friday night, a role he could continue to hold if Brunson is forced to miss multiple games. McBride has topped 25 minutes in three games this season, and he's averaging 11.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals during that stretch.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Makes trio of threes in win
Rotowire
McBride finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 win over the Grizzlies.
McBride has seen his role decrease considerably in the past few games, averaging 6.5 points in 16.8 minutes in his last four games after averaging 10.3 points through 27.5 minutes in his first four. It is likely that the return of Mitchell Robinson shook up the rotation to take away some minutes from McBride, but regardless, he has been a contributing factor off the bench for New York and will continue to back up Jalen Brunson.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Won't play Tuesday
