But it\u2019s the NBA. It should be challenging. The task they\u2019re giving me, being able to play in the G League and being able to come back to the team, it\u2019s been fun. So just trying to enjoy every day and taking the challenge head on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thibodeau\u2019s idea of a point guard is now veteran swingman Alec Burks, who is the starter, and Immanuel Quickley as backup even though he\u2019s best off the ball. Ball movement has been lacking and the Knicks are on a five-game losing streak with their season on life support.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he\u2019s getting feedback from the coaches on why he hasn\u2019t gotten much of a chance, McBride said, \u201cThe feedback is, \u2018you\u2019re young, you\u2019re a rookie, the opportunities you get, take them.\u2019 And some things h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en along with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=768\" alt=\"Miles McBride greets Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes after a Jan. 2, 2022 game\" class=\"wp-image-21392033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1152 1152w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=768 768w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=384 384w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/mcbride2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption>Miles McBride greets Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes after a Jan. 2, 2022 game<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>McBride had one shining moment in Houston on Dec. 16 when he started the second half for the fallen Rose. He finished the night with 15 points, nine assists and four steals.<\/p>\n<p>The next day he tested positive for COVID-19 and he has barely been heard from since. He made a start when he got back from his absence in Toronto on Jan. 2 but lost Fred VanVleet on a couple of plays, got benched and didn\u2019t start the second half. Thibodeau apparently has never forgiven him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure, you\u2019re going to have to ask coach,\u201d McBride said Wednesday when asked if he heard from the coaches about that game.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows what could\u2019ve happened had COVID not interrupted his season after his NBA breakout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think it was also guys were coming back at the same time and coach just trusting the veterans,\u201d McBride said. \u201cSo no problem with it. I\u2019m going to take everyday and try to learn from it.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
