Sees increased run in 2025-26 Kolek finished the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 4.4 points, 2.7 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 11.7 minutes per contest across 62 regular-season appearances (one start).

Impact Kolek didn't see the floor during the Finals and logged double-digit minutes just three times during the postseason. The 25-year-old point guard took on an increased role in his second season but lost consistent playing time after Jose Alvarado was traded to New York. Kolek is under contract for next season, and the Knicks hold a team option for 2027-28.

Knicks might have to hit the emergency Tyler Kolek button if Mike Brown is serious If Mike Brown is dead set on playing lineups without Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson, he may need to consider dusting off Tyler Kolek.

APRIL 23 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Off injury report for Saturday Kolek (oblique) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hawks.

Impact Kolek missed New York's final four regular-season games due to a right oblique strain, though he's set to be available for the start of the playoffs. However, the second-year point guard isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time with the Knicks at full strength.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in practice Kolek (oblique) participated in Wednesday's practice, per Jared Schwartz of the New York Post.

Impact The second-year guard missed New York's final four games of the regular season due to a right oblique strain, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of the playoffs. Even if Kolek is available for Game 1 on Saturday versus the Hawks, Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson appear to be the favorites for the reserve minutes in the backcourt.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Kolek (oblique) will sit out Sunday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact This will be Kolek's fourth straight game on the inactive list, and it'll be interesting to see if he gets cleared when the playoffs begin. Jose Alvarado should continue to pick up most of Kolek's minutes.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Won't go Friday Kolek (oblique) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Kolek will miss Friday's contest due to a right oblique strain, and his next chance to play will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets. With Miles McBride (pelvis) also sidelined, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado are all candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Kolek (oblique) is questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact Kolek remains day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. He could see some minutes as the third-string point guard Friday with Miles McBride resting.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Kolek is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics due to a right oblique strain.

Impact After initially being deemed questionable, Kolek is now downgraded to out and has a short turnaround on tap for Friday against Toronto. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet both have a clearer path to minutes Thursday.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Thursday Kolek is questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics due to a right oblique strain.

Impact Kolek is the only injury casualty for the Knicks ahead of their rivalry matchup against the Celtics, but even if Kolek is given the green light to play, he might not carry a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats. He's averaging just 7.5 minutes per game in 11 appearances off the bench since the beginning of March.

Knicks rout Wizards 145-113 to win their 6th straight and send Washington to its 16th straight loss

Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored 23 points and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 145-113 for their sixth straight victory

MARCH 23 • Associated Press

Recalled to NBA The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

Impact Kolek suited up for Westchester in Sunday's 141-131 win over the Greensboro Swarm, during which he posted 42 points (15-22 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, three rebounds and one block across 36 minutes. He's available to face the Wizards on Sunday but isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back to NBA New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

Impact Kolek will be available for the parent club in Sunday's clash with Golden State following a short assignment period in which he logged 29 minutes for the G League team. He has failed to earn a major role in New York's rotation, making just one start this season and averaging 4.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest, so he might continue to feature as a depth option going forward.

Knicks' hidden gem is finally being unearthed by the mainstream New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek is finally getting the mainstream recognition fans believe he deserves.

FEBRUARY 24 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Recalled by Knicks New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

Impact Kolek played 37 minutes during Westchester's 122-114 win over the Cleveland Charge on Saturday, finishing with 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 assists, one rebound and one steal. The second-year pro will be available for NBA action against the Rockets on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Increased role Friday Kolek totaled five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 118-80 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Kolek saw a handful of extra minutes, closing the game as New York was getting blown out by Detroit. Despite some flashes of upside this season, Kolek continues to serve as a depth piece for the Knicks. The arrival of Jose Alvarado could complicate matters even more for Kolek, limiting his fantasy appeal to dynasty formats and very deep redraft leagues.

Tyler Kolek's Knicks fate could suddenly be in the Bulls' hands Tyler Kolek has re-entered the Knicks' rotation following an ankle injury to Deuce McBride. How much longer he stays there could depend on.....

FEBRUARY 4 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Tyler Kolek continues most astonishing Knicks trend (and just on time) The Knicks won their sixth-straight game and Tyler Kolek had another huge game. It came at just the right time for the second-year guard.

FEBRUARY 3 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Dishes out 10 assists Kolek recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 assists and one rebound in 20 minutes Wednesday in the Knicks' 119-92 win over the Raptors.

Impact With just two garbage-time appearances over the Knicks' preceding four games, Kolek had been outside of head coach Mike Brown's rotation of late, but the second-year player resurfaced on the second unit while Miles McBride (ankle) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Starting point guard Jalen Brunson (30 minutes) also had his playing time suppressed a bit while he fought though an illness, which cleared to way for Kolek to see more run than anticipated. Though Kolek came through with a team-leading assist total and committed just three turnovers on the night, he's still likely to drop out of the rotation Friday against the Trail Blazers with the expectation that McBride returns to action.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Knicks' Tyler Kolek stance is becoming clearer ahead of the trade deadline The Knicks are getting healthy at the right time to bounce back from a major slump. Will Tyler Kolek lose his rotation spot again?

JANUARY 22 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Only three minutes in loss Kolek finished with two points (1-3 FG) over three minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Kolek's role basically evaporated in the loss, logging fewer than five minutes for the first time in his past 28 appearances. While we have seen brief flashes throughout the season, it appears as though Kolek is going to be limited moving forward, especially if the roster remains healthy. At this point, Kolek only holds value in dynasty formats and very deep redraft leagues.
