Clarkson contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.
With Landry Shamet (shoulder) exiting the contest early in the first quarter, Clarkson logged a season high in minutes and made the most of the opportunity. The veteran guard led the Knicks' bench in points, scoring in double figures for the third time over his last four appearances. If Shamet ends up missing additional time, Clarkson will likely continue to see a bump in minutes moving forward.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Nears double-double in loss
Rotowire
Towns provided 24 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.
Towns didn't have his most efficient outing, but he still finished as New York's second-leading scorer. The star big man has scored 20-plus points in three of his last four appearances, though he has shot just 42.7 percent from the field during that span. Although his double-double streak ended at 10 games, he grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds Saturday.
Brunson supplied 33 points (12-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 assists and three rebounds across 37 minutes in Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.
After a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Brunson appeared in his second consecutive contest and logged his seventh outing with at least 30 points through 13 regular-season appearances. The star point guard also dished out a game- and season-high 11 assists en route to his third double-double on the campaign. In his last two games, the 29-year-old has accumulated 61 points, 16 assists and six rebounds across 72 total minutes.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: To be evaluated soon
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Brown said after Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic that Shamet (shoulder) will be evaluated in "the next couple days," Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Shamet collided with an opposing player and sustained a right shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday's contest. He can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets until the Knicks provide an update on his status. In the likely event that the 28-year-old swingman misses additional time, Miles McBride (illness), Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are candidates for increased playing time.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Won't return Saturday
Rotowire
Shamet (shoulder) won't return to Saturday's game against the Magic, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Shamet collided with an opposing player and immediately left for the locker room early in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury. He'll finish with two assists in three minutes. With the 28-year-old swingman ruled out and Miles McBride (illness) questionable to play, Jordan Clarkson, Tyler Kolek and Josh Hart are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way. The Knicks are expected to provide an update on Shamet's status for Monday's game against the Nets by Sunday night.

Rotowire
McBride (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride is on the active roster for Saturday's game, but with him getting downgraded to questionable while the game is in progress, it seems unlikely that he'll get out there. Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek should see some extra minutes if McBride sits out the game.

Brunson (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
As expected, Brunson has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a second straight contest after a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle. In his return, the All-Star point guard posted 28 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 win over the Mavericks.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Probable for Saturday
Rotowire
Brunson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Probable tags after mild-to-severe injuries are common, so this isn't a big deal for New York's star point guard. Look for him to play through this issue against Orlando. During Wednesday's win over the Mavericks, Brunson had 28 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 35 minutes.
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Grabs eight boards in win
Rotowire
Robinson notched three points (1-1 FG, 1-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 victory over Dallas.
Although he isn't known to be a great free-throw shooter, Robinson had a particularly terrible night from the charity stripe Thursday, missing five of six attempts, including two late in the fourth quarter that could have been costly. On the bright side, Robinson continued his dominance on the glass, as he has yet to log a game with less than three offensive rebounds and five total rebounds this season.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Another impressive defensive effort
Rotowire
Bridges accumulated 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 win over the Mavericks.
The 29-year-old forward continues to be a terror at the defensive end of the court. Bridges has racked up multiple blocks in three straight games and multiple steals in five straight, and on the season, he's averaging 16.1 points, 4.9 assists, 4.4 boards, 2.4 threes, 2.1 steals and 1.2 blocks a contest -- with the assists, steals and blocks all representing career highs if he can maintain that pace.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Hart accumulated 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-111 victory over Dallas.
The double-double was his third of the season in 13 games, including one triple-double. Hart has exclusively come off the bench so far in 2025-26 and hasn't been seeing his usual hefty workload, but he's played at least 30 minutes in four of the last five games while averaging 12.0 points, 6.8 assists, 6.6 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.2 threes in 29.2 minutes a contest.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Keeps dominating on glass
Rotowire
Towns ended with 18 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 victory over the Mavericks.
The veteran big man has pulled down double-digit rebounds in every game so far in 2025-26, recording double-doubles in 13 of his 14 starts. Towns has stepped up his offensive game a notch in November, and over nine contests this month, he's averaging 23.4 points, 12.8 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks.
Brunson (ankle) supplied 28 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 win over the Mavericks.
Brunson returned to the court following a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. The star point guard struggled from beyond the arc, though he still chipped in a game-high scoring total while logging his usual minutes. Brunson continues to score at an elite level and has tallied at least 28 points in three straight appearances.
