Miles McBride News: Good to go Tuesday
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers after missing the last two games with a sprained left ankle.
McBride suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Knicks' 117-104 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday. He underwent an MRI on Saturday that revealed a sprain, and he was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game.
However, McBride participated in the Knicks' shootaround on Monday and was cleared to play. He is expected to start alongside Jalen Brunson in the backcourt.
McBride's return is a boost for the Knicks, who have struggled in his absence. The Knicks are 0-2 without McBride, and they have allowed an average of 120.5 points per game.
McBride is a key part of the Knicks' defense, and he is also a capable scorer. He is averaging 6.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season.
With McBride back in the lineup, the Knicks will be hoping to snap their two-game losing streak and improve their 10-11 record.
