The New York Knicks now have enough room under their second apron hard cap to sign a 15th player to a rest-of-season contract.

I covered Hukporti a bit during his NBL career. To come back from his Achilles injury like he did and become a valuable contributor on an NBA playoff team is just great to see.

Ariel Hukporti (!) will start tonight in place of Karl-Anthony Towns #Knicks #KnicksSky

Thibs said both OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson went through a full practice.

This is so cool…

#Knicks Jalen Brunson to take part in the #NBA 3-Point contest. #KnicksSky

Nate Robinson on IG: “I'm here to celebrate & thank the LORD for all he’s done…today’s the day I get my new kidney, thank you to all the people that sent prayers & texted giving me encouragement & love !!! Ur a foo if you dnt believe in GOD & the miracles he performs !! Amen 🙏🏾”

Knicks will acquire he draft rights to Hugo Besson and send out the draft rights to Mathias Lessort in the Jericho Sims deal, league source says.

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading guard Delon Wright to the New York Knicks for Jericho Sims, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a full roster so they'll need to send someone out to acquire Jericho Sims.

Per Shams on X: "The New York Knicks are trading center Jericho Sims to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of Bucks-Washington Wizards/Kyle Kuzma-Khris Middleton deal, sources tell ESPN." #Knicks #KnicksSky

The new CBA & limitations placed on #NBA teams, such as the aprons, has dramatically altered how teams are operating. On the eve of the Trade Deadline, it's hard not to see the effect on the league. MIL trading Middleton gets them under the second apron, for example. Buckle up. #Knicks #KnicksSky

Before anyone asks: IF Middleton gets bought out by Washington, the #Knicks CANNOT sign him, as they can't sign anyone whose original contract is more than the MLE (approximately) due to second apron constraints. #KnicksSky #NBA #NBASky

The #NBA is in shambles 😭

BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks are trading three-time All-Star Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma, league sources tell me.

Jalen Brunson’s nickname in China loosely translates to “Big Head,” according to fan on Knicks Reddit 😭 A commenter says it translates to Big Head-son (a play on the name Brunson), and the direct translation would be "Big Head Forest"

Jalen. Brunson.

Lots of eyes and ears around the league on the Kevin Durant situation right now.

If I'm an #NBA team, I'm calling Dallas to see what else they're willing to give up for pennies on the dollar. If you're the #Knicks, who on the Mavs roster intrigues you?

#Knicks with a tough come-from-behind victory over the Rockets, 124-118. Brunson leads the way with 42/6/10. #KnicksSky

Jalen Brunson getting whatever he wants #Knicks

#Knicks gotta go get this one outta the mud

#Knicks just don't have the bodies to run with the Rockets like this

Somebody needs to inject some energy into the #Knicks or this is over by halftime #KnicksSky

Ariel Hukporti getting early minutes tonight with KAT getting into early foul trouble. Showed you why the Knicks like him but also why he’s not quite ready yet. A couple nice defensive sequences and active on the glass. But also three quick fouls. He’ll get there, like him getting some minutes.

Hukporti sighting 👀

Achiuwa stepped into the starting lineup for the #Knicks in late January 2024 when the team lost OG and Julius Randle to injury. He averaged 12.5 pts, 9.5 rebs and 1.8 blocks as a starter. #KnicksSky

#Knicks choose to go with Precious Achiuwa in the starting lineup tonight #KnicksSky

Tonight's matchup for #Knicks is a mis-match of styles: Knicks 2nd OffRtg Rockets 13th Knicks 15th DefRtg Rockets 4th Knicks 5th NetRtg Rockets 6th Knicks w/o OG; Rockets sans VanVleet, Sengun, & Smith Jr. Knicks are 32-17 (No. 3 in East), Rockets 32-16 (No. 3 in West) Which style prevails?

Sengun and VanVleet both OUT tonight for the Rockets against the #Knicks #KnicksSky

Thibs also says mild sprain for OG Anunoby. #Knicks #KnicksSky

#Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau says center Mitchell Robinson has been cleared for contact. #KnicksSky

With OG out of the lineup tonight for the #Knicks, who would you peg as the starter in his absence? Deuce? Precious? SOMEONE ELSE? #KnicksSky

#Knicks center Mitchell Robinson shared on Snapchat he was seeing a doctor this morning for an injury update. Then, this afternoon he shared the following on X:

Bulls waived Torrey Craig as part of finalizing the Fox/DeRozan trade. Craig isn't the player he was when he helped Phoenix & Milwaukee get to the Finals in the same season (yes, you read that right), but could be a depth piece if healthy. Might the #Knicks take a look? 👀 #KnicksSky #NBA #NBASky
