McBride (hamstring) is listed as available to play in Sunday's game against the Bucks.
The 24-year-old's status was not updated prior to the club's 3:00 p.m. tipoff, and he will likely remain limited while he works his way back into playing form following a five-game absence streak due to a left hamstring strain. McBride returned to action in Friday's blowout loss to the Thunder, during which he contributed seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 20 minutes.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Records five assists in return
Rotowire
McBride (hamstring) tallied seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 20 minutes in Friday's 126-101 loss to the Thunder.
After missing the previous five games with a strained hamstring, McBride stepped back into his usual role as the Knicks' lead guard off the bench, outpacing both Landry Shamet (15 minutes) and Cameron Payne (15 minutes) in playing time. McBride will be the most likely candidate to move into the Knicks' starting five and take on a 30-plus-minute role if any of Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby or Josh Hart were to miss time with an injury, but in his current role, McBride's fantasy appeal is mostly limited to 14-team leagues or deeper.

It'll be a fifth straight absence with a hamstring injury for McBride, who'll next look to suit up in Friday's showdown with the Thunder. In his absence, the Knicks will likely rely heavily on Jalen Brunson from the first unit, and Cameron Payne should act as the top backup point guard Wednesday.

Rotowire
McBride has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left hamstring tightness.
Initially announced as a starter in place of the injured Jalen Brunson (calf), McBride was a late scratch after apparently tweaking his hamstring during warmups. Given the nature of the injury, McBride would appear to be at risk of missing the Knicks' next game Friday versus the Thunder.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Falls short again in loss
Rotowire
McBride closed Wednesday's 108-100 loss to the Hawks with five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes.
McBride scored in single digits for the third straight game, continuing what has been a slightly underwhelming season. Despite averaging 25.4 minutes per game off the bench, McBride is averaging just 10.6 points and 2.9 assists. While an injury to any member of the starting five could open up more playing time for McBride, his current role seems unlikely to yield sizeable contributions.
