The New York Knicks got into the trade action, though it did not involve Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Knicks acquired point guard Jose Alvarado from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks and cash, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Right after that trade was reported, Fred Katz of The Athletic posted that Miles McBride would undergo surgery for a core muscle injury and would be out possibly until the postseason.

McBride has spent his entire five-year NBA career with the Knicks, and he is having the best season so far.

As of Thursday, McBride has played in 35 games, averaging 12.9 points with 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds while playing just north of 28 minutes per contest.
