Despite a sore right ankle, Kolek played 12 minutes in Monday’s win over the Pelicans. He’ll likely take on a similar workload on Wednesday, as Miles McBride played 18 minutes in his return from an ankle injury against the Pelicans.

Despite a sore right ankle, Kolek will be available to provide production off the Knicks’ bench. However, with Miles McBride (ankle) available to make his first appearance since December 7, the Knicks may not have to rely on Kolek as much as they have in recent games.

Fresh off the most productive game of his NBA career, Kolek had another impactful performance on Christmas Day. The second-year guard finished one assist shy of a double-double and combined with Jordan Clarkson to score 41 points. Kolek may not be at the point where he’s a must-roster player, but Josh Hart’s fourth-quarter ankle injury may open up additional minutes for the Knicks’ reserves.

Due to Jalen Brunson being out with an ankle injury, Kolek made his first career start on Tuesday. The second-year guard didn’t shoot the ball as well as he’s capable of, but he did record career-highs in points and rebounds. While Kolek remains limited to streaming status in fantasy leagues, his play in recent weeks may establish him as the Knicks’ backup point guard as the season progresses.

Both Jalen Brunson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (ankle) are sidelined for this game. That allows Kolek and Robinson to enter the starting unit, with Kolek making the first start of his young career. Robinson will provide more size in the starting unit, which will help the Knicks match up with Rudy Gobert down low.

Kolek remained with the bench unit on Thursday, but the absences of Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart meant that the Knicks were going to need more from their backup point guard. He answered the call, recording career-highs in points and assists while recording a complete stat line. Kolek can’t offer much value to fantasy managers when the Knicks are at full strength, but his emergence as a reliable option could prove huge for the team later this season. Jordan Clarkson also had a good night off the bench, adding 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers.

The Knicks resting their starters on Monday did not result in Kolek moving into the starting lineup, as head coach Mike Brown went with Malcolm Brogdon (4/2/3/1 in 18 minutes). However, the second-year guard took advantage of his opportunities, leading the Knicks in points and assists while shooting over 50 percent from the field. During the preseason, the assumption has been that the Knicks will keep two veterans, with Brogdon and Landry Shamet (DNP-illness on Monday) considered the favorites. However, Kolek, who is on a guaranteed contract, can make the decision difficult for the Knicks by building on Monday’s performance.

Kolek struggled in Sunday’s loss, so a bounce-back performances like this was great to see. During his first two Summer League games, he had a total of 13 points without hitting a three, but he decimated both of those marks in just this game. Kolek will be a nice depth piece at point guard entering his second season.

Kolek played 27 minutes in the loss to the Pistons. The 24-year-old point guard had 10 points on 11 shots, missed all five of his three-point attempts and had five turnovers despite his eight assists. Kolek is behind Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson as backup point guards for the Knicks, but he’s a solid depth player as he showed at times last season.

Injuries to Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride have thrust Kolek into the rotation. With Cameron Payne not returning after halftime due to a sprained ankle, the rookie started the third quarter against the Clippers. While Kolek shot 0-of-3 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line, he dished out seven assists and committed just one turnover. Since entering the rotation, Kolek has accounted for 24 assists and one turnover. If Payne misses time, starting with Friday’s game in Milwaukee, the Knicks will have to rely more on Kolek and Delon Wright (three assists in 12 minutes) than they want to.
