The Knicks assigned rookie Miles McBride to the G League Westchester Knicks Wednesday, allowing him to play with that team in Bridgeport, Connecticut - the first opportunity he’s had to get major minutes at game speed this season.
McBride has played just four minutes in five brief appearances for the Knicks this season and has yet to convert a field goal. While the Knicks and Tom Thibodeau have high hopes for the 21-year-old point guard, getting him time on the court right now with the crowded NBA backcourt was most important.
"I love him, I love him," Thibodeau said.
