Knicks hopeful Mile McBride can return by end of regular season

The Knicks have not made any announcements regarding Miles McBride’s surgery, but a timetable has emerged. 

He had his surgery for a sports hernia Friday, The Post confirmed. His expected recovery timetable is 6-8 weeks, according to a league source. 

That is a bit quicker than two experts The Post spoke with believe, who said full recovery for that type of surgery is usually 10-12 weeks.

McBride’s timetable would give him a chance to return for the end of the regular season. 


OG Anunoby missed his third straight game in the Knicks’ 137-134 overtime loss to the Pacers on Tuesday night at the Garden.

The Knicks have changed his injury description from a sore toe to toenail avulsion. 

Landry Shamet started in his place and recorded 17 points. 

Mitchell Robinson was also out, with it being the first leg of a back-to-back.

Josh Hart had a triple-double in Tuesday’s loss, recording 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. 

It was his 17th with the Knicks, moving him up past Richie Guerin — who had 16 — to third on the franchise’s all-time list. 


Jayson Tatum’s potential availability could have major Knicks ramifications in the playoffs. 

When he tore his Achilles in the playoffs against the Knicks last year, it was hard to fathom him playing this season for the Celtics. But he practiced with the Celtics G-League team Tuesday, a major step forward in his rehab. 



“It doesn’t mean that I’m coming back or I’m not, just following the plan,” said Tatum.


Mike Breen, the lead Knicks play-by-play announcer, called his first Knicks game since Jan. 19.

He had been away for over three weeks due to his ESPN responsibilities.
