The New York Knicks are sending mixed messages as they seek to finalize their roster for the 2025-26 season. And believe it or not, this limbo could just signal a strong belief in Mohamed Diawara.
This is a surreal, somewhat wild notion on its face. The Knicks are title contenders. Their immediate fate isn’t beholden to a 20-year-old mystery box. Selected with the No. 51 pick in June’s draft, Diawara isn’t even technically on the roster yet.
All signs point to this changing. And soon.
New York currently needs to fill at least two more roster spots.
