The New York Knicks are on pace to play Deuce McBride with their four core starters more than they did last season. And it’s still not enough.
Entering their tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, the Knicks have rolled out McBride alongside Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns for a grand total of 25 minutes. To head coach Mike Brown’s credit, this is almost as much time as his predecessor, Tom Thibodeau, gave that group all of last year. The fivesome racked up an inexplicably low 31 minutes for all of 2024-25.
