5/5 🧵

Landry Shamet (knee contusion) is out his 5th straight game. The Knicks' health is a storyline — they need McBride's energy and shooting to make noise in the postseason. Fingers crossed the "questionable" tag holds.

4/5 🧵

Side drama: Tracy McGrady called out Karl-Anthony Towns on "Schein Time" last week, saying Towns needs "the want to" and must "put his stamp on games." T-Mac confronted him courtside in OKC before the loss. Basketball accountability, Hall of Famer style.

3/5 🧵

Before surgery, McBride was having a career year: 12.5 PPG, 41.5% from three, and elite point-of-attack defense. He missed 28 straight games post-op. The Knicks need that two-way punch back — their depth took a hit without him.

2/5 🧵

The collision with Lu Dort diving for a loose ball looked brutal — McBride was visibly uncomfortable on the bench before heading to the locker room. That he wasn't ruled out immediately is the silver lining. The Knicks have 7 games left to get him right before the playoffs.

1/5 🧵

Miles McBride might not be done yet — the Knicks listed him questionable for Tuesday's game in Houston after a scary re-injury scare Sunday. He lasted just 11 minutes vs OKC before grabbing his groin and limping off, same spot as his 2-month sports hernia surgery.
