Report: NYK, Alvarado push option date to June 26

Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Player Stats

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports that the Knicks and Jose Alvarado have agreed to push his player option deadline date to June 26.

Alvarado initially had to decide by June 22 whether to pick up his option for the 2026-27 season, worth $4.5 million. His willingness to push the deadline back by a few days gives the backup point guard and the Knicks a little more time to work out the financials. The Brooklyn native wasn’t always in the rotation during the postseason, but his play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals was a big reason why the Knicks won their first title since 1973. With six players, most notably Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet, set to hit free agency, New York’s front office will have its work cut out keeping the roster intact.

Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Knicks and Jose Alvarado have agreed to a three-year deal worth nearly $15 million.

Alvarado pushed back the deadline to make a decision on his player option to Friday, giving him and the Knicks time to make a deal. Had he opted into the final season of his contract, the point guard would have received $4.5 million. Alvarado’s agreement to the new deal gives the front office a little more room to fill out the Knicks’ roster, especially if it’s backloaded. Given his role as Jalen Brunson’s backup, “Grand Theft Alvarado” is more important to the Knicks than to fantasy managers.
Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado accounted for 16 points (6-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Having fallen out of the Knicks’ rotation recently, Alvarado started Sunday’s regular-season finale and logged 34 minutes. Acquired from the Pelicans at a time when the Knicks were shorthanded on the perimeter, his opportunities may be limited during the playoffs. That said, Alvarado does not need much time to be a nuisance on the defensive end of the floor, so there may still be a role for him in the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Tyler Kolek (oblique) are out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

While Brunson will miss Sunday’s game due to injury management, Kolek will miss a fourth straight with a strained oblique. Jose Alvarado should play plenty, and Sunday’s game may be one where the Knicks look to get Miles McBride going, as he’s struggled since returning from sports hernia surgery.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Friday’s win over the Raptors with 29 points (12-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Brunson and the Knicks took care of business on Friday, securing the No. 3 seed in the East with their win and Cleveland’s loss to Atlanta. As a result, fantasy managers in active leagues should plan for the possibility of Brunson not playing in Sunday’s game against the Hornets. If he sits, Jose Alvarado (12/5/2 with one three-pointer) would move into the starting lineup.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) are out for Friday’s matchup with the Raptors.

New York will lose two key reserves for Friday’s tilt, which means Ariel Hukporti and Jose Alvarado should be in line for additional minutes.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) are off the injury report for Friday’s matchup with the Bulls.

Brunson and Deuce will be available after sitting out Wednesday, and both should handle their typical workloads. Jose Alvarado, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should all see their minutes reduced with New York’s top two point guards available.
Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby will start against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Alvarado gets the start for the injured Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll join the usual starters and will have a chance to increase his production on both ends of the floor. Jordan Clarkson could play an even bigger role off the bench.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (groin) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

McBride will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, which should lead to extra minutes for Jose Alvarado. Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable, so if he is out, Tyler Kolek should see a big bump in minutes as well.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Brunson struggled in Tuesday’s loss to Houston and could sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. If that happens, Jose Alvarado would get his second start for the Knicks, which should allow him to provide plenty of assists and steals.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (core) participated in Saturday’s practice.

McBride has been out since late January after undergoing surgery to address a sports hernia. Given a timeline of six to eight weeks, he appears to be closing in on a return to game action. With Landry Shamet (knee) out and deadline addition Jose Alvarado having struggled recently, getting McBride back would give the Knicks a welcome boost.

Will Richard totaled 16 points (6-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and four three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Lakers.

Richard looked on Friday like someone who’d logged legitimate NBA minutes before. He shot the ball efficiently, did some nice secondary playmaking, and was active defensively with his hands. But one of the most important takeaways from the contest was how productive Richard was from beyond the arc. He shot 4-of-5 from deep, which is big, considering the 33.5 percent of three-pointers he made last season as a rookie. If he can remain consistent from the three-point line, Richard should be able to find a bigger role next season on a team that currently has limited backcourt depth.

Cameron Carr added 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and five three-pointers in the loss to the Warriors on Friday.

Carr, the Lakers’ 24th pick in the most recent NBA Draft, was the team’s best scorer on Friday. The bulk of his production came from beyond the arc, where he nearly converted half of his looks on double-digit attempts. He didn’t provide much else in terms of box score numbers. However, he could potentially grow into a role in the regular-season rotation if the level of shooting he displayed against Golden State is sustainable.

Yaxel Lendenborg amassed 19 points (6-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in the win over the Lakers.

Lendenborg made quite the first impression on Friday in his first action as a pro. He led all Golden State scorers and tied a team high with four three-pointers, with all four triples coming in the first half. He also led the team in assists and was the only one to record at least one block and one steal before the final horn sounded. Lendenborg was selected with the 11th overall pick in this most recent draft. He’ll likely have a chance to be a rotation player from opening night on.

Tarris Reed logged 10 points (3-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds and one block on Friday against the Heat.

Reed’s first bit of NBA action was a fairly unspectacular one. He shot inefficiently but made it to double figures as a scorer, while his seven boards led all San Antonio players for the game. Reed was selected with the 26th pick in this year’s draft. Even if he finds minutes in a talented Spurs frontcourt this upcoming season, it’s unlikely he will provide much fantasy value.

Jahmir Young totaled 21 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Spurs.

Young was one of two Miami guards to reach the 20-point mark on Friday. He did so efficiently by converting more than half of his shot attempts and tying a team-high in three-pointers. He also made strong contributions as a passer in this game. Young has been with the Heat organization for one season, so his familiarity with the system should help him remain productive during the NBA Summer League. Given that he never played more than 10 minutes in any of his 14 appearances with the Heat last season, it’s unlikely he’ll have much fantasy relevance during the 2026-27 season.

Ryan Conwell tallied 21 points, three rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in the win over the Spurs on Friday.

Conwell’s Summer League debut was a good one. The 37th-overall pick of the 2026 draft was one of two Miami players to reach at least 20 points in the game. Despite some inefficient shooting, he got to the line frequently, which is where he scored nearly half of his points. Conwell was the only player taken in the recent draft by the Heat, so he could have a good chance of being the team’s focal point throughout the summer.

The veteran team will join his fifth NBA team after agreeing to a deal with the Jazz. Okogie, known for his defensive versatility, spent last season with the Rockets, where he averaged 4.5 points across 78 regular-season games. He’s unlikely to see significant enough playing time to produce at a level that is valuable for fantasy basketball next season.

Drummond’s reported deal will be an important one for the Knicks as they look to fill the void at backup center. Drummond has played 14 seasons in the NBA, serving various roles. He’ll essentially replace Mitchell Robinson, who agreed to a deal with the Celtics, to help New York in its title defense. Drummond averaged 6.4 points and 8.4 rebounds last season with the 76ers.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jordan Miller has signed a three-year, $15.3 million deal with the Clippers.

Miller entered restricted free agency this summer but opted to return to the Clippers for another three seasons. They selected him with the 48th pick in 2023, and after playing sparingly through his first two seasons, he took on a much larger role for the Clippers over the final three months of last year. With Keaton Wagler, Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick now in town, Miller’s role may look smaller than it did down the stretch of last season.

Trey Lyles has agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves.

Lyles signed with Real Madrid last September after a decade in the NBA, with the last four seasons in Sacramento. The veteran big will provide some depth at the power forward and center positions, and he’s a capable floor spacer, which may help make up for Naz Reid’s departure. However, it is unlikely he is anywhere near as productive as Reid was.
