Miles McBride 's first game back since mid-February surgery for a sports hernia left the Knicks holding their collective breath. McBride collided with Luguentz Dort going for a loose ball and did not return to the game, leaving the court for the locker room midway through the third quarter of Sunday's 111-100 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder . Now, New York is listing McBride as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Houston Rockets.

Additionally, Landry Shamet (knee) will remain out. "I haven't talked to medical yet, so I don't know how bad it is," Knicks coach Mike Brown said Sunday night, according to the New York Post's Stefan Bondy . "But it's tough.

He's worked his tail off to be back. "And I don't think he made a shot in the first half, but he gave us a lift. You felt his presence.

It made us deeper. And because of the foul trouble we had, we were a little shorthanded in that second half, and it was part of the reason they were able to pull away, too. " McBride was scoreless on 0-of-3 shooting but grabbed a rebound, dished an assist and blocked a shot in 11 minutes off the bench against the NBA-best Thunder (59-16).
