The New York Knicks are “unlikely” to pick up Bobby Portis’ team option contract for next season. This is according to SNYs Ian Begley. He would be owed $15.75 million for the 2020-21 season.
The 25-year-old is averaging 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists for the Knicks. Portis is also shooting 45 percent from the field.
Portis has been serviceable for the Knicks. Fans would like him to be brought back over other players. But for the price tag it doesn’t make much sense. Also with the front office, allegedly, being “enamored” with Detroit’s Christian Wood, Portis coming back is doubtful.
