Kevin Knox will soon start his first season with the New York Knicks, who made him the No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. In the pre-draft build-up, rookies were given sponsorship deals, including from Puma Basketball, who made a comeback to the hardwood scene.
Knox did not pick up a sponsorship before the draft or through August. However, Puma made their interest in the Kentucky product clear, when a message was posted on Twitter on Aug. 31.
On Tuesday’s episode of First Take, Knox appeared on the show in Puma gear, so something seemed imminent.
