Knicks’ Miles McBride Leaves With Left Ankle Injury, X-Rays Negative, MRI Scheduled for Monday

The guard’s timeline remains unclear until imaging clarifies the extent of the damage.

Overview

  • McBride was hurt in the third quarter against the Magic on a drive where Desmond Bane’s left foot appeared to land on his left ankle.
  • He got up to make two free throws, then asked out shortly after and did not return as he limped to the locker room.
  • The Knicks said postgame that he is being evaluated for a left ankle injury with a further update expected Monday.
  • Reporting from Michael Scotto indicates the initial X-ray was negative and an MRI is set for the following day to assess soft-tissue damage.
  • McBride has been a key rotation piece this season at 12.0 points per game on 46.2% three-point shooting, and Karl-Anthony Towns was ruled out of the same game with left calf tightness.
