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

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

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

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