Miles McBride to Undergo Core Muscle Surgery, Out Until Playoffs

Miles McBride of the New York Knicks will undergo surgery for a core muscle injury, identified as a sports hernia, and may be sidelined until the playoffs. His earliest potential return is projected for early April. McBride had previously missed the last five games under the guise of left ankle injury management. With his extended absence, Tyler Kolek, recently traded Jose Alvarado, and Jordan Clarkson are considered candidates for increased playing time.
