[Katz] BREAKING: Knicks guard Miles “Deuce” McBride will undergo surgery Friday on a core muscle injury, more commonly referred to as a sports hernia, and could be sidelined until the playoffs
The Alvarado move makes even more sense now.
They’ve been trying to get Alvarado all year but the Deuce injury being this bad made it a necessity vs. a want.
Feel like the Pels have more leverage than they realized
the pels believe leverage is for cowards
They should use treys 44 ball from the other night to get a desperate team to cough up 5 firsts
They didn’t release injury info until trade was completed probably.
I am very sad. He’s so good. This isn’t just a bench guy.
legit 6MOTY candidate this year
The Deuce is loose.
I don’t think non-Knicks fans realize how insane his trajectory has been. 36th pick who was mainly drafted as an energy/defense guy, despite only being 6’2”, who became a legit part of the rotation thanks to his 3P% jumping from 25% and 30% his first two seasons to now being over 40% his last three, including 42% on 7 attempts per game this year!
He doesn’t get nearly enough love outside the Knicks sub, but it’s always fun hearing “DEUCEEEEE” when he shoots at a road game.
Best +/- per game/per minute on the team this year
I went to the Knicks game in Phoenix earlier this season and there were like 80 million Knicks fans in attendance for some reason, and I couldn’t figure out why they were booing him every time he made a shot.
Then I realized they were saying “Deeeuuuccee!”
Also kinda crazy he is the second best QB to ever play for the Knicks lol
Shout out to Charlie Ward
Next season, can we DNP him on Sundays specifically? There is no way in hell he’s worse than that bum Justin Fields.
The Knicks 5 man lineup with him in it is our best on paper this season.
Knicks Film School had been suggesting the idea that maybe the reason we hadn’t heard anything was that they were keeping it under wraps until the deadline. Sucks though.
Reminds me of the elbow surgery OG had 2 years ago. We went out and got Burks and Bogi but would have looked a lot more desperate if teams knew how badly we needed backups for OG.
Yeah makes it easier to trade for guys when teams don’t think you are desperate
Ah.
The reason we traded for jovado
Is this a hispanic thing or a racist thing?
Belgium coffee. He brings energy so I think coffee
Knew this news was coming as soon as the Knicks were done at the deadline and had his replacement secured.
Did the exact same thing with OG a couple years ago.
Fuck man. He’s such a key piece to this team man. Heal up king
Not great
This guy always goes off on us
Well that sucks. Explains why they felt the need for Alvarado though, I was wondering how they were gonna manage minutes between Brunson, Deuce, and Jose
Deuce really isn’t a PG. I think even with Deuce they’d probably lean towards having them both on the court and moving Deuce to SG where he is much better
I’m more thinking about this in terms of trying to keep size on the floor defensively. It helps that Alvarado is a good defender, but he’s still small
Couldn’t wait 2 hours for this smh
They got Alvarado, so they dont need to leverage it anymore.
Yeah, don’t want NOLA upping the price because they know we “need” him
Rest up Deuce…going to need you if the Knicks are making any sort of run.
Get well soon Deuce
No one has ever accused me of rooting for the Knicks, but this really sucks. I had this done personally around this time last year. I know I don’t have Knicks Sports Med money, but it kicked my ass through May, and I didnt feel myself again fully until July/August.
Also, weight gain. Strength loss. Just Yuck.
That sucks. Dude was terrifying from three.
Terrible. Devestating. I hope he plays in the playoffs so bad
The playoffs are about 10 weeks away, right in the middle of the expected post-surgical hernia recovery timeline.
Yeah, but he’ll ned to ramp up and might look shaky post injury. Dropped right into playoff ball will be tough
Might do what they did with OG back in 2024. Sit him for a while, but give him like 5 games before the playoffs to ramp up.
As someone who hasn’t had that injury, isn’t a doctor, and knows nothing about anything, there’s no way he isn’t back for the playoffs.
Love how Leon kept this under wraps until after we traded for Jose. He did the same thing a couple of years ago when OG needed surgery. Keeps other teams from gaining leverage.
42% from 3 this year on 7 attempts. Big loss
Wtf hating on deuce smh why are we like this
Edit: I read that as sarcasm… im a dumbass lol.
lol, phew. Bc that’s elite 3P shooting!! Haha
Gonna miss hearing the fans/crowd going Deuce when he shot a 3.
Damn, well at least it’s not his ankle? But hernia sucks, hopefully he’s healthy by playoffs that’s all that matters
Yep.
Saw this one coming. Very sad.
The Alvarado move was HUGE
I love the way Leon Rose operates
Kinda figured ngl
Oof
Rest up Deuce, kill em in the playoffs
Absolute body blow. Jose helps but he can’t replace Deuce’s shooting or off-the-dribble creation.
Sad to hear since hes been a huge piefe for the Knicks since he got a minutes boost a couple seasons ago. I know the Knicks have been eyeing Alvarado for a bit but I guess this was the deciding factor to really get him.1
Sadness.
This isnt BREAKING
BREAKING MY HEART
Hopefully this means Clarkson returns in the rotation
I think Jose Alvarado is a 1 for 1 plug in
Eh
didn’t he start yesterday?
Hasn’t Clarkson been really bad?
He’s been ight. Kind of meh lately. Helped a lot in the cup games!
Not super likely tbh
Yuck
He played the last two games.
If the Knicks want to lose games, sure
