Knicks' Miles McBride: Limited production in Game 2 win
Rotowire
McBride recorded four points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 win over Philadelphia in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
McBride logged a healthy 21 minutes, the most of anyone off the New York bench in the Game 2 win, but he made little offensive impact with just one field goal and one free throw to show for it. The guard has scored in single digits in six of eight playoff games this year, including a pair of scoreless outings in the first round against Atlanta. He's coming off a regular season in which he averaged a career-high 12.0 points while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from beyond the arc, but McBride's offensive production has been up and down in the postseason so far.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Notches 15 points in loss
Rotowire
McBride closed with 15 points (5-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Mikal Bridges finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 21 minutes, so the Knicks leaned heavily on McBride in this contest. With Bridges continuing to be a non-factor in this series, more minutes could head in McBride's direction.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Retreating to bench Saturday
Rotowire
McBride is not in New York's starting lineup against Atlanta in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Saturday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The Knicks rested their starters for this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets. That led to McBride entering New York's starting five, and in that 110-96 loss to Charlotte, he played 24 minutes and finished with 21 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. The fifth-year pro will revert to a bench role Saturday and will be the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Out Wednesday
Rotowire
McBride (pelvis) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
After missing 28 straight contests, McBride has appeared in two straight games, totaling three points (1-12 FG), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes. However, despite the limited workload, McBride isn't going to push himself during the second night of a back-to-back set. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado are candidates for increased roles, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle), who's listed as questionable, gets ruled out.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
McBride (pelvis) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride's status was in doubt after he departed Sunday's matchup due to injury, but he evidently felt good enough in shootaround and warmups to give it a go Tuesday. He managed to log 11 minutes Sunday before exiting, so expect the Knicks to keep a close eye on his minutes in just his second game back from sports hernia surgery.

He exited Sunday's matchup after logging 11 minutes, and his status is now in question for Tuesday. The Knicks should have a better idea of McBride's availability as he goes through shootaround and warmups.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Doesn't return Sunday
Rotowire
McBride (undisclosed) exited Sunday's 111-100 loss to the Thunder in the third quarter and did not return, finishing with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 11 minutes.
McBride returned from a 28-game absence during which he underwent sports hernia surgery Feb. 6. He dove for a loose ball in the third quarter and stayed down for an extended period while grabbing at his groin area before limping to the locker room. The Knicks later deemed him doubtful to return due to undisclosed reasons while he was being evaluated, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's game in Houston.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable against Thunder
Rotowire
McBride (pelvis) is questionable for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.
McBride is expected to return at some point during what's left of the Knicks' road trip. While it's still far from a lock, it appears he might finally make his return Sunday versus the defending champs after being sidelined since late January and undergoing sports hernia surgery in early February. If he's cleared to suit up, he will likely be used sparingly, meaning Jose Alvarado and Jordan Clarkson should continue to see meaningful minutes.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Expected to return soon
Rotowire
McBride (pelvis) is on track to return at some point during the remainder of the Knicks' four-game road trip, according to Ian Begley of SportsNet New York.
The Knicks have three games left on the road. However, the team may finally get McBride back in the lineup, potentially as early as Sunday's game against Oklahoma City. The 25-year-old was averaging a career-best 12.9 points with 2.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 42.0 percent from deep before a sports hernia that required surgery put him on the shelf in January. If McBride is cleared to play versus the defending champs, he will presumably be limited, meaning Jordan Clarkson, Jose Alvarado and Tyler Kolek might continue to see more work than usual off the bench.
