- Matchup: the Knicks will face the Boston Celtics; the teams will also be looking at the possibility of a second apron.
- After the Knicks waive the possibility of doing so, they will be able to sign a player for veteran minimum, with Jordan Clarkson.
New York Knicks have agreed to a contract with Andre Drummond for a one-year deal worth $3.9 million, according to reports. It remains to be seen, however, whether the deal will be finalized, as information suggests that the Knicks are not under the second apron.
In the meantime, it is known that the Knicks will play the Boston Celtics next in a matchup. That is why the teams will be looking at the possibility of a second apron, which is described as a threshold of $222 million.
For this reason, as the material notes, Drummond could be a possible signing to the Knicks. The publication also notes that Drummond is a key player in the second region, which could help improve the team’s performance.
The material from NYT Athletic states that Drummond has grown in the last few seasons. It also notes the following statistical data: the minimum season with Philadelphia 76ers saw 6.4 rebounds per game and the rebound percentage (rebound percentage) 24.98, which is the highest in the NBA.
Forbes also reports that the Knicks plan to sign Drummond and that it will be possible to sign two more players with minimum contracts. It also reports that the remaining players are Mo Diawara, Landry Shamet, and Jose Alvarado.
