Rotowire
The Knicks assigned McBride to the Westchester Knicks of the G League on Wednesday.
McBride has served as a depth guard for the Knicks this season, averaging 1.9 points in 4.8 minutes across his 11 NBA appearances. The 23-year-old guard will likely only be in the G League for a short stint.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Records two steals
Rotowire
McBride finished Wednesday's 95-89 loss to Cleveland with three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two steals across nine minutes.
McBride didn't appear in the Knicks' first two games of the season but has played single-digit minutes off the bench in the last three matchups. While he generated some results on the defensive side of the ball Wednesday, he's had minimal fantasy value early in the 2023-24 campaign and is unlikely to see a significant uptick in production.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Showcases two-way play as starter
Rotowire
McBride posted 16 points (6-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-110 preseason loss to Boston.
McBride got the starting nod with the Knicks' regular starters resting. He led all players in steals while pacing the team in assists and finishing second in scoring. McBride tied a preseason high in scoring while setting new preseason-best marks in assists and steals in the loss. Over three preseason contests, McBride has averaged 9.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
McBride is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Sticking in New York for 2023-24
Rotowire
The Knicks exercised McBride's $1.84 million team option for the 2023-24 season Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
McBride will get a third year with the Knicks after he supplanted Derrick Rose in head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation early on during his second NBA season. The West Virginia product saw scant playing time behind starting point guard Jalen Brunson, however, averaging just 3.5 points, 1.1 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest over 64 appearances while shooting a woeful 35.8 percent from the field. McBride will likely need to take at least a marginal step forward with his production to ensure he remains a permanent fixture on the second unit in 2023-24, but even if he loses his rotation spot, his modest $1.84 million salary is still palatable enough for an end-of-the-roster player.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Drops 18 points Tuesday
Rotowire
McBride finished with 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
McBride has had a limited impact for the Knicks in recent weeks, but he played double-digit minutes for a second consecutive game Tuesday and posted a season-high 18 points during the comfortable win. However, his role will likely decrease once Jalen Brunson (foot) is cleared to return.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Logs 17 minutes
Rotowire
McBride had eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 17 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 victory over the Lakers.
The 2021 second-round pick was called up from the G League at the beginning of the month, and although his usually deadly three-point stroke hasn't shown up since rejoining the parent team, he's been pretty efficient in limited action. McBride will have trouble seeing more time due to the crowded depth chart, and a demotion back to the G League could happen at any moment.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Set for brief G League stint
Rotowire
The Knicks assigned McBride to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday, but he'll be recalled ahead of New York's game against the Nets later in the day, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
The second-year guard out of West Virginia hasn't been a regular part of the NBA rotation of late, so he'll get an opportunity to play some extended minutes with Westchester, who hosts the Delaware Blue Coats at 11 a.m. ET. He'll then have a few hours to rest up before the Knicks host the Nets at 7:30 p.m. ET, but McBride is still unlikely to see the court outside of a garbage-time scenario.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Sparks comeback win
Rotowire
McBride chipped in 14 points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 win over the 76ers.
After McBride saw between nine and 13 minutes in each of the Knicks' previous seven games, the late scratch of RJ Barrett (illness) created a window for the second-year guard to pick up more playing time. The fact that the Knicks faced a 21-point deficit at one point in the first quarter also helped McBride, who provided an immediate spark as New York trimmed the Philadelphia advantage to just two points by halftime. The 14 points tied a season high for McBride, who was a game-best plus-34 during his time on the court.

McBride entered with 1:54 left in the third quarter and played the rest of the game for New York.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Makes two-way impact
Rotowire
McBride averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals in five Summer League games.
McBride displayed not only his passing acumen, but that he can also score efficiently (50.0 percent on field goals). His tenacious defense on top of his offensive production will ensure that he is competing for minutes on a young Knicks team. He will likely be battling with Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes for backcourt minutes off the bench.

McBride (knee) is out for Sunday's game against Toronto, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
McBride had played through his sore knee recently, but he'll sit out for the regular-season finale. Immanuel Quickley and Ryan Arcidiacono should see increased run against the Raptors. McBride averaged 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game during the regular season.
