The New York Knicks quietly made a decision on Wednesday, fully guaranteeing the contract of Ariel Hukporti. The young center now has a chance to continue his breakout season as he becomes an invaluable player for the Knickerbockers.
The Knicks entered the season in a precarious financial situation. They had a number of open roster spots to fill but very limited space to use in filling them. It was an open competition during Training Camp as to who would seize the last spots, and whether the team would end up waiving one of their recent draft picks to do so.
