New York Knicks guard Miles McBride underwent surgery on the fifth toe of his right foot earlier this week, the team announced on Friday.
While a specific timeline was not disclosed, the team expects him to be ready to resume basketball activities “later this summer.”
In his third season with the Knicks, the 23-year-old developed into an invaluable depth piece of a team that made the Eastern Conference semifinal. In 68 games, he averaged 8.3 points in 19.5 minutes per game while shooting 41.0% from three-point range.
On a roster decimated by injuries in the playoffs, he stepped his game up further, averaging 11 points and nearly two assists in 26.7 minutes per game.
This was the first season of a three-year, $13 million contract he signed last summer to stay with the Knicks — a deal that looks as though it is developing into quite the bargain.
