He&#8217;s shot a career-high 42 percent from 3-point range on nearly seven attempts a night and is averaging 12.9 points, also a career high. Before the hernia surgery, McBride suffered a high ankle sprain in December and missed three weeks. When he returned he played some of his best basketball even while the Knicks struggled through inconsistency.<\/p>\n<p>In the 28 games he&#8217;s missed, the Knicks have gone 20-8, including winning seven in a row before the streak was snapped in Charlotte on Friday night. The Knicks&#8217; bench production has been spotty but assuming health, McBride will provide a boost with on-ball defense and 3-point shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks entered Sunday ninth in 3-point makes and fourth in 3-point percentage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OKLAHOMA CITY &#8212; New York Knicks guard Miles McBride was activated Sunday for the first time since undergoing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-569589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
