The New York Knicks are set to host the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, continuing their NBA season with an interconference game. The Knicks carry a strong 38-22 record after a convincing road win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The Spurs, meanwhile, enter with a 43-16 record and an impressive 11-game winning streak following a recent road victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Players Leading Their Teams
In the recent triumph over the Bucks, Jalen Brunson led New York with 27 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. OG Anunoby also contributed significantly with 24 points, three rebounds, and three assists. For San Antonio, Julian Champagnie scored 26 points, along with two rebounds and two assists, while Stephon Castle added 18 points, two rebounds, and five assists in their win against Brooklyn.
San Antonio Spurs Injury Status and Mason Plumlee’s Availability
The Spurs face Sunday’s game with one player sidelined: veteran center Mason Plumlee has been ruled out. Plumlee has yet to make his season debut since signing a 10-day contract two weeks ago, which was later extended for the remainder of the season. He remains in reconditioning as he works toward full competition readiness. Aside from Plumlee, the Spurs have their roster intact as they aim to continue their winning streak.
New York Knicks Injury Update on Miles McBride
The Knicks will also be missing a key player, with guard Miles McBride ruled out due to ongoing recovery from core muscle surgery sustained on January 28. His absence leaves increased opportunities for players such as Jordan Clarkson, Landry Shamet, and Tyler Kolek to take on expanded roles. The team is focused on maintaining their momentum in Sunday’s home matchup despite McBride’s continued unavailability.
