In a disappointing Summer League matchup, the New York Knicks fell to the Boston Celtics, 91-84, with Kevin McCullar Jr. emerging as a standout despite suffering injuries. After wearing a protective face mask post-injury, McCullar lit up the scoreboard with 30 points, demonstrating his grit and ability to combat physical defenses. Coach Jordan Brink praised McCullar's performance while noting areas to improve, particularly ball handling.

The Knicks struggled overall, with other notable players like Pacome Dadiet and James Nnaji suffering injuries that limited their contributions. Tyler Kolek also had a rough outing, shooting poorly, which further highlighted the Knicks' challenges. The focus now shifts to McCullar's potential future with the team as he enters restricted free agency, hoping to secure a spot in the Knicks' rotation for the upcoming season.
