knyt: mike brown's knicks rotation: diawara breakout, mcbride returns

Jan 1, 2026
The Knicks beat the Pelicans in another sloppy but clutch win, but the real story was not the final score. It was how Mike Brown continues to reshape the rotation by trusting young players and testing real lineup combinations. Mohamed Diawara started again and delivered a breakout performance, Miles Deuce McBride returned and closed the game, Guerschon Yabusele was reinserted into the rotation, and Pacome Dadiet was the only young player to not see the floor. In this video, I break down: Why this win mattered beyond Jalen Brunsons clutch play What Diawaras expanded role tells us about the coaching staff How Deuces return impacts the rotation moving forward Why these decisions matter as the Knicks push toward the postseason This is how contenders build depth before they need it. #knicks #mohameddiawara #mikebrown #newyorkknicks #knyt
