Tyler Kolek Rumors

While sidelined, Brunson took it upon himself to help build up a rookie on the roster. In a March 26 home loss to the Clippers, rookie point guard Tyler Kolek played the entire third quarter before getting benched for the fourth. After Kolek came out of the game, Brunson sat next to the young point guard and gave words of encouragement and advice. For Kolek, Brunson’s support has gone a long way. “It’s always good to pick his brain,” Kolek told The Athletic. “He’s been in similar situations, thrust into whatever roles he’s asked to do, and he did a great job. Any question I have, he’s always there for me to answer. “He’s definitely taken me under his wing. That’s my vet. I guess you could call him a vet now. He takes me to dinner, on the road hanging out. He shows me how to be a professional. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s really all about. The on-court stuff is the on-court stuff, but the off-court stuff is really more important. How to carry yourself. How to be a man.”

Stefan Bondy: Though things could still change with two days off before tipoff, Miles McBride (groin contusion) is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Mavericks, an NBA source tells The Post. McBride also sat yesterday's win, allowing opportunities to Cam Payne and Tyler Kolek.

Knicks rookie guard Tyler Kolek was named the MVP of the G-League Showcase after leading Westchester to the title over Sioux Falls with 22 points and 11 assists Sunday night in Orlando, Fla. Kolek, who has appeared in 18 games for the Knicks this season, and fellow rookies Pacome Dadiet and Ariel Hukporti were recalled before Monday’s game against the Raptors. “I like the fact that [Kolek] did it within a team concept, that he came into the game and he made some 3s, but his playmaking was terrific, as well,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said of Kolek, a second-round pick out of Marquette. “I think it’s great, a great accomplishment. … For the guys that are up and down, that’s not easy. Tyler played a great game, but they played as a team, and it’s a terrific accomplishment. So we’re really proud of them.”
