Knicks guard Miles McBride undergoes surgery

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride underwent surgery Friday to address a muscle issue, a procedure likely sidelining him until the NBA postseason officially begins. The guard recently missed matches due to a sprained left ankle.

Throughout this current season, McBride appeared in thirty-five games, averaging 12.9 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.6 rebounds across twenty-eight minutes per night, while shooting an excellent 42 percent from three-point range.

He remains signed through the 2026-27 campaign. Ahead of the trade deadline, the New York organization acquired Jose Alvarado to bolster the roster. This addition inserts a vital option into the backcourt rotation behind Jalen Brunson, filling a role that was considered relatively thin within New York’s highly competitive squad. With McBride out, the Knicks will rely heavily on Alvarado to maintain stability until their key shooter returns for the upcoming playoffs.
