Miles McBride - Scores five points in lossMcBride chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist in 18 minutes during Saturday's 140-126 loss to the Pacers.

ImpactThe Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto in exchange for O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn on Saturday, and they signed McBride to a three-year, $13 million extension later that night. McBride will compete with Flynn for backup point guard duties going forward, but McBridge has the edge for now with Flynn battling an ankle sprain.

Evan Fournier - Notches 10 pointsFournier ended Saturday's 140-126 loss to the Pacers with 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals across 17 minutes.

ImpactFournier made just his second appearance of the season Saturday, as the Knicks were very shorthanded following a trade that sent RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto for a package involving O.G. Anunoby. With Anunoby expected to debut Monday against Minnesota, it's likely that Fournier will be right back out of the rotation.

Bruce Brown - Considered doubtful for MondayBrown (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game versus the Bucks.

ImpactBrown will likely miss his fifth straight game Monday due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Andrew Nembhard and Buddy Hield will continue to see a boost in fantasy value in the meantime. If Brown sits Monday, his next chance to play would be Wednesday in a rematch versus Milwaukee.

Precious Achiuwa - Not listed on injury reportAchiuwa (recently traded) isn't listed on the Knicks' injury report ahead of Monday's game against Minnesota.

ImpactAchiuwa, O.G. Anunoby and Malachi Flynn were all traded to New York on Saturday, and Achiuwa and Anunoby should be able to make their Knicks debut Monday, while Flynn (ankle) will remain out for at least one game. Given the Knicks' depleted frontcourt, Achiuwa should be able to carve out a reserve role quickly.

OG Anunoby - May make team debut MondayAnunoby (recently traded) isn't listed on the Knicks' injury report for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

ImpactAnunoby was traded to the Knicks on Saturday, along with Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa. Flynn (ankle) will remain sidelined, but Anunoby and Achiuwa should be able to make their Knicks debut. Anunoby should replace RJ Barrett in New York's starting lineup and profiles as a 3-and-D player next to Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.

Quentin Grimes - Cleared to return MondayGrimes (illness) isn't listed on the Knicks' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

ImpactGrimes was sidelined for Saturday's loss to Indiana due to an illness but should be back in action Monday. He's fallen out of the starting lineup after being a regular starter last season, but with Immanuel Quickley off to Toronto, Grimes could be the top guard off the bench moving forward.
