Tyler Kolek Injury News & Updates
Dec 10, 2025
Muted role continues
Kolek finished Tuesday's 117-101 victory over the Raptors with two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across eight minutes.
ANALYSIS
Kolek logged single-digit minutes for the second straight game, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece. Although he has seen the court in all but four games thus far, it's been slim pickings when it comes to production. Through 20 appearances, Kolek is averaging just 3.6 points and 1.9 assists in 9.9 minutes per game.
Dec 4, 2025
Dishes five assists in win
Kolek closed with six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Kolek has now played at least 13 minutes in his last three games and in six of his last seven, averaging 5.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks in that span. Kolek has emerged as the team's backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson with Miles McBride sliding in the starting lineup, and will likely continue to hold down this role until Landry Shamet (shoulder) returns from injury.
Nov 24, 2025
Season-high five assists
Kolek had two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 113-100 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Kolek handed out a season-high five assists, logging 17 minutes for the second straight game. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) sidelined, Kolek has been able to carve out a role as a backup option behind Jalen Brunson. With that said, there is no reason to consider him a viable fantasy asset, outside of deeper formats.
Nov 11, 2025
Recalled to NBA
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek will continue to provide emergency depth at the NBA level. In nine regular-season appearances with New York, Kolek is averaging 7.2 minutes per contest.
Nov 7, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks assigned and recalled Kolek during the same day for two straight days, and they often did this in 2024-25 as well. He's likely to remain a fringe rotation player at the NBA level.
Nov 5, 2025
Assigned to G League
New York assigned Kolek to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek has been a fringe rotation player for New York early on, so this move is an effort to keep him sharp with some extra reps.
Oct 29, 2025
Sees 11 minutes in loss
Kolek logged five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Kolek continues to see scraps at the end of New York's bench. Through four games, he's seeing 12.0 minutes per contest with averages of 4.8 points, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting from the field.
Oct 13, 2025
Leading scorer in preseason loss
Kolek totaled 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes in Monday's 120-103 preseason loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Kolek caught fire Monday with several Knicks regulars resting, leading all scorers with 20 points off the bench. The Marquette product saw limited action as a rookie last season, averaging 7.2 minutes across 41 regular-season games, and faces an uphill climb for consistent minutes with the offseason additions of Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Clarkson.
Oct 2, 2025
Scores six points vs. Philadelphia
Kolek tallied six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Kolek was one of 14 players who came off the bench for New York during the team's preseason opener. However, he'll likely play a role on this squad once the regular season begins after the Marquette product suited up for 41 regular-season games with the team during the 2024-25 campaign.
Jul 17, 2025
Dishes out team-high five assists
Kolek finished with 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 91-88 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Kolek struggled with his shooting from beyond the arc, but was the team's best distributor. The Marquette product has dished out at least four assists in each of his last two games during the Las Vegas Summer League.
Jul 15, 2025
Scores 25 in SL win
Kolek totaled 25 points (7-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, four steals and two rebounds across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 97-93 Summer League win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Kolek rebounded from a poor showing Sunday against the Celtics--when he managed just three points on 1-for-13 shooting--by dropping 25 points Tuesday against the Nets. The young guard appeared in 41 regular-season games for the Knicks last season, averaging 2.0 points and 1.7 assists while shooting 32.9 percent in 7.2 minutes per contest.
Apr 2, 2025
Plays career-high 20 minutes
Kolek closed Tuesday's 105-91 victory over Philadelphia with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Kolek continues to see increased minutes for the Knicks, sliding up in the rotation due to multiple injuries across the backcourt. Although Kolek has seen an increase in responsibility, his production has been a little underwhelming, outside of his assist numbers. In four games over the past week, he is averaging 3.0 points and 5.5 assists in 17.5 minutes per contest.
Mar 25, 2025
Career-high nine dimes
Kolek chipped in two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, nine assists and one block in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Kolek flashed his playmaking upside, recording a career-high nine assists. That makes a total of 17 assists over the past two games, easily the best stretch of his young career. With a similar style to that of TJ McConnell, Kolek is an intriguing long-term prospect. The eventual return of Jalen Brunson from an ankle injury will likely see Kolek removed from the rotation. However, he is someone to watch as an efficient backup option, should the opportunity ever present itself.
Mar 8, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Knicks recalled Kolek on Friday ahead of Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Kolek will be available for Monday's game in Sacramento, giving the Knicks some depth in the backcourt with Jalen Brunson (ankle) out. The 23-year-old guard has played in 29 games for New York this season, averaging 5.1 minutes per contest.
Feb 19, 2025
Left off injury report for Thursday
Kolek (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Kolek is all set to be available off New York's bench Thursday after missing the team's last game prior to the All-Star break with an ankle injury. However, the rookie guard doesn't figure to be a significant part of the rotation against Chicago, as evidenced by his 5.1 minutes per game over 29 appearances this year.
Feb 12, 2025
Ruled out against Atlanta
Kolek (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Kolek has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. The 29-year-old rookie guard has played in 29 games for New York this season, rarely seeing the floor when cleared to play, averaging 1.8 points per game.
Feb 12, 2025
Questionable Wednesday
Kolek (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Kolek may miss Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to a sprained right ankle. However, the rookie guard hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective this season, playing only 5.1 minutes per game for New York across 29 appearances.
Jan 25, 2025
Recalled to parent club
The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League Westchester Knicks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek is coming off a dominant outing in the G League as he racked up a double-double during Westchester's 123-109 win Saturday versus the Maine Celtics. The rookie second-round pick should serve as a depth option in the NBA and is unlikely to be featured in the rotation for Saturday's matchup versus the Kings.
Jan 15, 2025
Back with parent club
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek will be available as a depth option out of the backcourt in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation.
Jan 2, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek was recalled in time for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz. The rookie guard tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists and one rebound in 12 minutes against Utah. Kolek will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League.
Dec 23, 2024
Rejoins parent club
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek should be available for Monday's game against the Raptors, but he's not likely to be included in the rotation.
Dec 17, 2024
Recalled to NBA
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek has yet to make an impact at the NBA level, making 16 appearances with an average of 6.9 minutes per contest.
Dec 14, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Knicks recalled Kolek from the Westchester Knicks of the G League on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek recorded 30 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-109 G League win over the Skyhawks. The rookie guard will now return to the NBA where he is averaging 2.9 points in 6.9 minutes across 16 appearances.
Dec 13, 2024
Quick G League visit
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek, Matt Ryan and Pacome Dadiet were all assigned to the G League on Thursday morning but were recalled in the afternoon. Westchester didn't have a game, so the trio presumably practiced. The rookie hasn't played more than six minutes in an NBA game across four December appearances.
Dec 11, 2024
Back from G League
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kolek will rejoin New York ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks. He suited up for Westchester earlier in the day in its 118-107 win over the College Park Skyhawks, finishing with 18 points (7-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block.
Dec 3, 2024
Practices with G League squad
New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Westchester didn't have a game Monday, so Kolek, Precious Achiuwa and Ariel Hukporti joined the G League squad for practice and were recalled afterward. With Miles McBride and Cameron Payne healthy again, Kolek's path to playing time at the NBA level is crowded.
Nov 28, 2024
Not on injury report
Kolek (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Kolek was sidelined for Wednesday's loss to Dallas due to an illness, but he should be able to suit up Friday. However, with Cameron Payne and Miles McBride both healthy and available, Kolek may not be part of the regular rotation versus Charlotte.
Nov 27, 2024
Out Wednesday
Kolek (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Kolek has been downgraded from questionable to out. With Miles McBride and Cameron Payne healthy and available, Kolek's absence shouldn't impact New York's rotation.
Nov 27, 2024
Dealing with illness
Kolek is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
With Miles McBride (knee/illness) back in the rotation after a five-game absence, Kolek played only two minutes during Monday's win over Denver, his fewest since Nov. 10. If he can't play Wednesday, McBride and Cameron Payne would be candidates for a couple of extra minutes against Dallas.
Nov 9, 2024
Career-high 16 minutes
Kolek registered eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 116-94 win over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
With Cameron Payne (hamstring) sidelined, Kolek played double-digit minutes for the first time in his career. When everyone is healthy, he's on the outskirts of the rotation, but Kolek could push Payne for playing time if the rookie can string together a few strong performances off the bench.
Oct 19, 2024
Decent output in preseason finale
Kolek had 13 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), a rebound and two assists across 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Kolek led all the bench players in scoring and delivered a solid performance Friday, but that's not expected to change his role in the rotation. Miles McBride (rest) and Cameron Payne are ahead of him on the depth chart, meaning Kolek will probably see minimal minutes if he stays with the Knicks once the regular season begins. Starting the year with the Westchester Knicks in the G League isn't out of the question, either.
Oct 16, 2024
Fills up box score vs. Charlotte
Kolek logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and eight rebounds across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Kolek saw more playing time Tuesday as Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks' starters rested. Kolek didn't shoot particularly well from the floor, but he managed to lead the Knicks in assists and was third in rebounding behind Precious Achiwua (16) and Jericho Sims (10). Kolek, the Knicks' rookie second-round pick, will likely see limited playing time as he serves as the third point guard on the depth chart behind Brunson and Cameron Payne.
Oct 10, 2024
Pops for 15 points Wednesday
Kolek compiled 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Kolek continues to push his claim for regular season minutes, putting together another strong performance. Taken at pick 34 in the 2024 NBA Draft, Kolek will have to earn his spot in the rotation, competing with Cameron Payne for backup point guard minutes behind Jalen Brunson. Despite being undersized, Kolek has an intriguing offensive skillset, something that could at least put him in the discussion for playing time on opening night.
Jul 17, 2024
Notches 21 points
Kolek produced 21 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 106-105 Summer League win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Selected with the No. 34 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Kolek made quite the impression Wednesday after struggling with his shooting in his previous two outings. Through three total appearances in the Summer League, Kolek has produced averages of 11.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.
Jun 27, 2024
Drafted at No. 34 by New York
Kolek was selected by the Knicks with the No. 34 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, with the Knicks sending the Trail Blazers future second-round picks to make the selection, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The point guard out of Marquette will be fighting for backup minutes behind Jalen Brunson. At 6-foot-1, defense is Kolek's weak point. However, the Second Team All-American has a diverse offensive skillset, able to score and pass in a variety of ways, including around the basket and from three.
