Mohamed Diawara News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Steps up off bench Diawara ended with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-105 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Diawara contributed in several categories during the comfortable win, matching his season-high workload with 21 minutes off the bench. The young forward was particularly effective as a rebounder and secondary playmaker while adding two blocks. His versatility is intriguing for deeper fantasy formats, though he'll need more consistent playing time to become a reliable option.

Headed to bench Diawara will come off the bench in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Diawara started New York's final two exhibition games with Josh Hart nursing a minor ankle injury, but Hart is back and starting for Opening Night, so Diawara will shift back to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit last season, Diawara averaged 3.2 points and 1.2 reboudns in 8.2 minutes per game.

Drops six points in spot start Diawara ended with six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 preseason win over Toronto.

Impact Diawara remained in the starting lineup, with Josh Hart given the night off. Although it does appear as though he could feature on a nightly basis, Diawara's upside is very limited at this point. Only those in deeper formats need to pay attention to the situation, at least for now.

Starting preseason finale Diawara is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Raptors.
