Miles McBride Expected to Return for Knicks vs. Suns

The New York Knicks are focusing on improving their playoff performance this season, with a spotlight on guard Miles McBride, who has emerged as a key player off the bench. Coach Tom Thibodeau, known for his reliance on starters, may benefit from McBride's contributions, especially after he averaged 9.4 points and played significant minutes before a groin injury sidelined him. McBride's return to action in a recent game against the Suns, where he scored eight points, suggests he can provide crucial depth as the playoffs approach. His effectiveness in relieving the starters could help mitigate injuries and fatigue that plagued the team in previous postseasons. As the Knicks aim for their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years, McBride's role will be pivotal in maintaining team stamina and performance. The team's overall success will likely hinge on how well McBride can continue to contribute off the bench in crucial playoff moments.
