Myles McBride out until playoffs, Knicks bring back Jose Alvarado
Miles McBride will undergo surgery to treat an abdominal muscle injury, and his return may not occur until closer to the playoffs. In recent weeks, the leader has already been spared, officially due to taking care of a sprained left ankle, but the matter therefore turns out to be more serious.
In Mike Brown’s rotation, Myles McBride took on a new dimension this season: 12.9 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 28 minutes on average, with very solid skills from behind the arc (42% on 3-pointers) in 35 games. A worthwhile return… which will therefore have to be made up to ‘postage’.
But beyond the immediate impact, the Knicks are also concerned in the medium term: Myles McBride is under contract until 2026/2027, and the goal of course is to prevent this injury from lingering.

In any case, New York found a backup solution by recovering Jose Alvaradoadding extra room in the back field. The former Pelicans brings a very different style: all-court pressure and constant activity. Not exactly a copy of Miles McBride, but a useful relay to relieve the holder.
