Knicks have just revealed their plan for the No. 24 pick with Mohamed Diawara signing By signing Mohamed Diawara to a new contract, the Knicks are almost assuredly going to trade their No. 24 pick.

JUNE 23 • DAILYKNICKS.COM

Plans to re-sign with New York Diawara agreed to a multi-year contract with the Knicks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Charania reports that the deal is expected to be worth at least $10 million, though the contract details have not yet been disclosed. Diawara saw an inconsistent role during his rookie campaign, stepping up when injuries arose. Across 69 regular-season games (seven starts), the 21-year-old forward averaged 3.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per tilt.

Wraps up rookie campaign Diawara appeared in 69 regular-season games (seven starts) in 2025-26, averaging 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists across 9.2 minutes per contest.

Impact Diawara finished the season with a DNP-CD in all five games of the NBA Finals, and he appeared in only six games during the playoffs. The 21-year-old forward saw brief stretches of increased playing time, especially when Miles McBride missed 27 consecutive contests from Jan. 28 to March 26 due to sports hernia surgery. During that span, Diawara averaged 5.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in 14.2 minutes per game.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Back with second unit Diawara will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Diawara drew a rare start in the regular season finale, but he'll retreat to the second unit to open the postseason. He's likely to play a very minor role going forward.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Diawara is starting Sunday against the Hornets.

Impact Diawara is getting the spot-start with New York resting most of their usual starters, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jose Alvarado, Mikal Bridges, Miles McBride and Ariel Hukporti. As a starter this season, Diawara has posted averages of 6.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 triples per contest.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Falls out of rotation Diawara (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Knicks' 108-105 win over the Hawks.

Impact Prior to Monday, Diawara had received playing time in all but one of the Knicks' first 23 games coming out of the All-Star break, averaging 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 12.4 minutes per contest. However, following the recent returns of Landry Shamet and Miles McBride from long-term absences, the Knicks are now back to full strength and no longer appear to have room in the rotation for the rookie second-round draft pick. Diawara could get extended run at some point over the final three games of the regular season if the Knicks' playoff positioning is locked in and multiple key players end up getting rested, but the 20-year-old forward's appearances will likely be limited to garbage-time scenarios once the postseason gets underway.
