At Madison Square Garden, second-year guard Tyler Kolek was assigned to the Westchester Knicks on Saturday morning, ahead of New York’s home contest against the Houston Rockets. The move follows a roster logjam triggered by the trade-deadline acquisition of veteran Jose Alvarado. With Miles McBride recovering from core muscle surgery, the Knicks front office brought in Alvarado to provide veteran depth for a team holding the third spot in the Eastern Conference.
