Overview
- Mitchell Robinson practiced fully and is a game-time decision in Chicago, according to Mike Brown.
- Miles McBride rejoined the team after a family matter and is expected to play, restoring New York’s second-unit spark.
- The Knicks enter at 2-2 after two straight road losses, facing a Bulls team that is 4-0 behind top-tier defense and league-best opponent three-point limits around 26%.
- Coaches and analysts expect Robinson’s return to lift rebounding and rim protection, though Brown cautioned he won’t look like his peak self immediately.
- Brown said it will take five to 10 games to fairly evaluate the new-look Knicks, as outside voices like Draymond Green question their contender credentials.
