With one off-season acquisition, the New York Knicks addressed their needs for extra shooting, ball handling, and defense. Shrewd move, Leon!
Donte DiVincenzo declined his $4.7 million player option with the Golden State Warriors and entered free agency on July 1, 2023. He promptly signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the New York Knicks on July 8, 2023, which will pay him $10.9 million for the upcoming season. This reunites him with former Villanova championship teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Ryan Arcidiacono. The Wildcats won titles in 2016 and 2018, and DDV was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 2018.
