Knicks' Miles McBride Awaits MRI After Left Ankle Injury vs. Magic

The guard seeks clarity on the injury with imaging planned Monday following negative X-rays.

Overview

  • He was fouled on a third-quarter drive when Desmond Bane’s foot appeared to land on his left ankle, hit two free throws, then exited and did not return.
  • Initial X-rays were negative, with an MRI scheduled Monday to determine the severity.
  • The Knicks said they will issue a further update on his status after the imaging.
  • Coverage indicates it would be surprising if he plays Tuesday against Toronto pending the MRI results.
  • McBride has been a key contributor, averaging about 12 points on roughly 46% three-point shooting for the 16–7 Knicks, and New York may lean more on Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson with Landry Shamet sidelined.
