Miles McBride nearing Knicks return with Josh Hart ruled out for Hawks game
NY Post
ATLANTA — One ankle sprain is at least close to healed, another is just getting started.
Miles McBride, who missed the last seven games with a left ankle sprain, was upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks, the Knicks announced.
Josh Hart, meanwhile, was ruled out of the contest in Atlanta with a right ankle sprain, an injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of a Christmas victory over the Cavaliers.
If McBride returns, it’ll be his first appearance since he landed on the foot of Orlando’s Desmond Bane on Dec. 7. McBride was on a hot streak before the injury, splashing 27 of his prior 47 treys.
He’d be joining a rotation that has thrived with the inclusion of Tyler Kolek as the backup point guard, but is also unknown without Hart, the regular starting small forward.
Coach Mike Brown could opt for the double-big starting lineup with Mitchell Robinson at center and Karl-Anthony Towns at power forward. He could instead thrust McBride into the lineup.
