Nears triple-double in first start Kolek racked up 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Kolek made his first career NBA start Tuesday in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle) and made the most of the opportunity, recording his second career double-double while finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The Marquette product has carved out an expanded role in his second season, logging 20-plus minutes in three of the past four games and seeing double-digit minutes in 17 of 25 appearances overall. Provided Brunson returns, Kolek is likely to move back to a bench role for the Knicks' Christmas matchup Thursday with the Cavaliers, though he should still remain part of the rotation.

Impact Kolek followed up on his breakout game in the NBA Cup championship against the Spurs and put up a career-best performance in Thursday's win over the Pacers. The 24-year-old guard stuffed the stat in his most minutes off the bench this season, leading the team in assists and shooting an efficient 70 percent from the field. The Marquette product has taken advantage of Miles McBride (ankle) being out of the lineup, playing 20 or more minutes in back-to-back games after not surpassing 17 in any other game this season.

Season-best performance Kolek notched 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over San Antonio.

Impact Kolek scored a season-high 14 points, playing a key role down the stretch as the Knicks outlasted the Spurs to win the NBA Cup. Although this was an encouraging performance, it is likely an outlier when compared to the rest of the season. Prior to Tuesday, Kolek had played no more than 17 minutes in all 21 appearances thus far this season. We would need to see sustained production before adding him outside of very deep leagues.
