Tyler Nickel Is Already a Knicks Revelation in More Ways Than One Knicks rookie Tyler Nickel is already exceeding expectations after a few Summer League games, proving that his future is bright.

JULY 12 • SI.COM

Paces New York in SL loss Nickel registered 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 30 minutes in Saturday's 70-49 Summer League loss to the Spurs.

Impact While the Knicks struggled offensively as a team, Nickel was a bright spot, leading the way with 16 points fueled by a game-high four triples. The rookie is regarded as a high-level outside scorer after knocking down 40.0 percent of his three-point attempts on 7.6 tries per game across 36 appearances with Vanderbilt during the 2025-26 collegiate season.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Hits six triples in SL loss Nickel racked up 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four rebounds across 22 minutes in Friday's 91-65 Summer League loss to the Nets.

Impact Nickel caught fire from beyond the arc Friday, especially in the fourth quarter, when he knocked down all three of his three-point tries. The No. 47 overall pick in this year's draft finished as New York's second-leading scorer while connecting on a game-high six triples. His three-point shooting could be a useful tool for the defending champions, though he's far from guaranteed a consistent role with the Knicks.
