Kolek recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 assists and one rebound in 20 minutes Wednesday in the Knicks' 119-92 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

With just two garbage-time appearances over the Knicks' preceding four games, Kolek had been outside of head coach Mike Brown's rotation of late, but the second-year player resurfaced on the second unit while Miles McBride (ankle) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Starting point guard Jalen Brunson (30 minutes) also had his playing time suppressed a bit while he fought through an illness, which cleared the way for Kolek to see more run than anticipated. Though Kolek came through with a team-leading assist total and committed just three turnovers on the night, he's still likely to drop out of the rotation Friday against the Trail Blazers with the expectation that McBride returns to action.

Kolek finished with two points (1-3 FG) over three minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek's role basically evaporated in the loss, logging fewer than five minutes for the first time in his past 28 appearances. While we have seen brief flashes throughout the season, it appears as though Kolek is going to be limited moving forward, especially if the roster remains healthy. At this point, Kolek only holds value in dynasty formats and very deep redraft leagues.

Kolek racked up seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek saw a healthy workload off the bench, as did Miles McBride with 28 minutes. Jalen Brunson left this game after five minutes with an ankle injury, leaving his status for Thursday's game against the Warriors in the air. If Brunson is not able to go, Kolek would suddenly find himself on the streaming radar.

Kolek (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Sunday's 123-114 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

With the Knicks welcoming Josh Hart (ankle) back from an eight-game absence and feeding him 31 minutes in his return, no playing time was left over for Kolek, who fell out of the rotation for the first time since Nov. 19. Kolek's playing time had already been trending down heading into Sunday, as he played fewer than 20 minutes in each of the previous eight contests and shot a woeful 33.3 percent from the field over that stretch.

Kolek supplied two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 10 minutes during Friday's 112-107 loss to Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek struggled from the field Friday and saw his fewest minutes since Dec. 9. The second-year point guard has struggled with efficiency of late, shooting 35.7 percent from the field over his last five games. He'll likely continue to see rotational minutes for now, but he could fall out of favor once Josh Hart (ankle) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) return to action.

Kolek (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek is battling right ankle soreness, but he'll unsurprisingly overcome a probable tag Wednesday to suit up. The guard has averaged 9.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per contest in his last seven games, though his playing time may continue to drop now that Miles McBride is back in the mix.

Kolek is probable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs with right ankle soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek played through the issue during Monday's win over New Orleans, and the expectation remains the same for Wednesday. The 12 minutes he saw Monday were his fewest since the Dec. 9 win in Toronto, so it looks like Miles McBride's recent return has a drastic effect on Kolek's playing time.

Kolek (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek is managing right ankle soreness, but he's giving it a go Monday. Miles McBride (ankle) is ready to return to the lineup, so Kolek may be in line for a slight decrease in playing time. Across his past six appearances, Kolek has averaged 10.3 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game.

Kolek is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans with right ankle soreness.

EDGE Analysis

This is a new injury for Kolek, though it does sound minor. While Kolek is in jeopardy of missing this contest, the Knicks could be getting Miles McBride back from his left ankle sprain -- McBride is listed as probable.

Kolek is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Kolek poured in 20 points and notched a double-double in his first NBA start Tuesday but will shift back to the bench with Jalen Brunson (ankle) returning for Christmas Day. Even in a reserve role, the second-year guard should continue to see meaningful run after averaging 16.1 minutes per game over the Knicks' past 15 contests.
