Drops 14 points in loss McCullar finished with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 loss to the Hornets.

Impact McCullar was far more involved than usual in his team's regular-season finale, as the Knicks elected to rest a good chunk of their usual contributors. The Kansas product averaged 2.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 7.4 minutes per game across 21 regular-season appearances. McCullar is unlikely to have much of a role heading into the postseason, though he'll be available to serve as frontcourt depth if needed.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

No longer on injury report McCullar (quadriceps) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact McCullar, who's seen the majority of his minutes this season while with the G League's Westchester Knicks, has missed time due to a right quadriceps injury. However, he's managed to put this injury behind him. The G League regular season concluded Saturday, so McCullar will be available for Tuesday's game in Houston if needed. The 25-year-old is averaging 1.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20 appearances this year with New York.

Gets light run in double-OT win McCullar (calf) played two minutes in Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime win over the Nuggets, recording zero points (0-1 FG), two assists and one rebound.

Impact The two-way player hadn't seen action for the Knicks or their G League affiliate since Jan. 17 while managing a calf issue, but he made enough improvement in his recovery to join the parent club ahead of Wednesday's contest. He handled a light role off the bench, checking into the game four times late in the first, second and fourth quarters as well as the first overtime period. McCullar is unlikely to be included in the rotation in the Knicks' next game Friday in Detroit, especially if trade-deadline pickup Dalen Terry and/or Josh Hart (ankle) and Miles McBride (ankle) return from injuries.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

With NBA club McCullar (calf) has been called up from the G League ahead of Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact McCullar had been tending to a calf injury recently, but he'll be a go for the NBA Knicks on Wednesday. He likely won't be part of the rotation, but the absence of Miles McBride (ankle) and Josh Hart (ankle) gives him a simpler path to minutes.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Stuffs stat sheet in G League McCullar generated 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks in 37 minutes during Friday's 114-104 G League win over the Windy...

Impact With the parent club nearly at full strength, McCullar made his first G League appearance since Dec. 22 and led the team in dimes. The 24-year-old has now played seven games with the Westchester Knicks this year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him continue spending time in the G League as long as New York's backcourt is healthy.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Notches four points McCullar supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Monday's 121-90 loss to Detroit.

Impact McCullar continues to see run in Josh Hart's (ankle) absence, and Hart is expected to miss at least a couple more outings. McCullar isn't yet on the fantasy radar, however, as he's averaging 2.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.5 steals in 11.5 minutes over his last four appearances.

Re-signs with Knicks McCullar (nose) signed a two-way contract with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Impact McCullar is back with New York on his second two-way deal with the organization. The 2024 second-rounder will likely spend the bulk of the 2025-26 campaign with the G League's Westchester Knicks. Over 13 G League appearances a year ago, McCullar averaged 11.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.

Impact McCullar missed the final three games of Summer League with a nasal contusion. Before being sidelined, he poured in 30 points (10-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT) to go along with four rebounds, two steals and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Celtics.

Aggressive Kevin McCullar Jr. impresses with shot to make Knicks roster after lost rookie season It’s his first summer league and, in many ways, his first NBA season is still upcoming.

JULY 14, 2025 • NYPOST.COM

Drops 30 in SL loss McCullar went for 30 points (10-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's 94-81 Summer League loss to the Celtics.

Impact McCullar was the only player on the Knicks Summer League squad to score in double figures Sunday, racking up a game-high 30 points on solid efficiency. McCullar did much of his work from inside the three-point line and from the free throw line, logging nine makes from both two-point range and the stripe. The only critiques of McCullar's strong performance were missing four of five three-point attempts, as well as committing a Summer League special of eight personal fouls.
