Knicks' Mohamed Diawara makes key decision on NBA future
Mohamed Diawara is staying in New York City.
The 20-year-old French forward, drafted by the New York Knicks with the 51st overall pick in June after completing a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, has decided to begin his NBA career rather than returning to France, effectively avoiding becoming the latest draft-and-stash player.
His former team in France, Cholet Basket, made the announcement on Friday on X.
Arrivé en provenance de Paris à l’été 2024 et récemment médaillé d’or à l’Euro U20 avec l’Équipe de France, Mohamed Diawara avait un objectif clair : rejoindre la NBA.
