Miles McBride Questionable for Monday's Game Amid Knicks' Backcourt Shortage

Miles McBride is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat due to a personal matter, with an estimated return of November 17, 2025. This status is critical for the New York Knicks, as Jalen Brunson (ankle) remains out, leaving the backcourt shorthanded. McBride, a 25-year-old guard, started in Friday's win over the Heat, contributing nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, and three rebounds in 30 minutes. For the 2025 season, he is averaging 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. If McBride cannot play, the Knicks are expected to rely heavily on Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson. McBride signed a three-year, $13 million extension with the Knicks in December 2023.
