It wasn’t a matter of if a New York rookie would be assigned to the Knicks’ G League affiliate team this season, but when it would happen. The New York Knicks announced earlier today that Miles McBride was assigned to the Westchester Knicks and would be available for tonight’s game against the Long Island Nets.
McBride, the No. 36 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has played a total of 4.4 minutes in five games this season and has mostly seen garbage time minutes. The Knicks’ rookie hasn’t seen much playing time on the court through the early stages of the 2021-22 campaign, but should see quality playing time with Westchester.
