Tyler Kolek News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Returns to NBA The Knicks recalled Kolek from the Westchester Knicks of the G League on Friday.

Impact Kolek recorded 30 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-109 G League win over the Skyhawks. The rookie guard will now return to the NBA where he is averaging 2.9 points in 6.9 minutes across 16 appearances.

Quick G League visit New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Thursday.

Impact Kolek, Matt Ryan and Pacome Dadiet were all assigned to the G League on Thursday morning but were recalled in the afternoon. Westchester didn't have a game, so the trio presumably practiced. The rookie hasn't played more than six minutes in an NBA game across four December appearances.

Back from G League New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.

Impact Kolek will rejoin New York ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks. He suited up for Westchester earlier in the day in its 118-107 win over the College Park Skyhawks, finishing with 18 points (7-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block.

Practices with G League squad New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.

Impact Westchester didn't have a game Monday, so Kolek, Precious Achiuwa and Ariel Hukporti joined the G League squad for practice and were recalled afterward. With Miles McBride and Cameron Payne healthy again, Kolek's path to playing time at the NBA level is crowded.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Kolek (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Kolek was sidelined for Wednesday's loss to Dallas due to an illness, but he should be able to suit up Friday. However, with Cameron Payne and Miles McBride both healthy and available, Kolek may not be part of the regular rotation versus Charlotte.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Kolek (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Impact Kolek has been downgraded from questionable to out. With Miles McBride and Cameron Payne healthy and available, Kolek's absence shouldn't impact New York's rotation.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Kolek is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to an illness.

Impact With Miles McBride (knee/illness) back in the rotation after a five-game absence, Kolek played only two minutes during Monday's win over Denver, his fewest since Nov. 10. If he can't play Wednesday, McBride and Cameron Payne would be candidates for a couple of extra minutes against Dallas.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 16 minutes Kolek registered eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 116-94 win over Milwaukee.

Impact With Cameron Payne (hamstring) sidelined, Kolek played double-digit minutes for the first time in his career. When everyone is healthy, he's on the outskirts of the rotation, but Kolek could push Payne for playing time if the rookie can string together a few strong performances off the bench.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Decent output in preseason finale Kolek had 13 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), a rebound and two assists across 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Wizards.

Impact Kolek led all the bench players in scoring and delivered a solid performance Friday, but that's not expected to change his role in the rotation. Miles McBride (rest) and Cameron Payne are ahead of him on the depth chart, meaning Kolek will probably see minimal minutes if he stays with the Knicks once the regular season begins. Starting the year with the Westchester Knicks in the G League isn't out of the question, either.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Fills up box score vs. Charlotte Kolek logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and eight rebounds across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.

Impact Kolek saw more playing time Tuesday as Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks' starters rested. Kolek didn't shoot particularly well from the floor, but he managed to lead the Knicks in assists and was third in rebounding behind Precious Achiuwa (16) and Jericho Sims (10). Kolek, the Knicks' rookie second-round pick, will likely see limited playing time as he serves as the third point guard on the depth chart behind Brunson and Cameron Payne.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 15 points Wednesday Kolek compiled 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 win over the Wizards.

Impact Kolek continues to push his claim for regular season minutes, putting together another strong performance. Taken at pick 34 in the 2024 NBA Draft, Kolek will have to earn his spot in the rotation, competing with Cameron Payne for backup point guard minutes behind Jalen Brunson. Despite being undersized, Kolek has an intriguing offensive skillset, something that could at least put him in the discussion for playing time on opening night.

Impact Selected with the No. 34 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Kolek made quite the impression Wednesday after struggling with his shooting in his previous two outings. Through three total appearances in the Summer League, Kolek has produced averages of 11.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.
