Report: Mohamed Diawara plans to remain with NYK

Mohamed Diawara

NYK Forward #51

Player Stats

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Mohamed Diawara intends to re-sign with the Knicks on a multi-year deal worth $10 million.

While Diawara was not in the Knicks’ playoff rotation during the team’s run to the NBA title, he did have his moments during the regular season. As a result, there was some intrigue as restricted free agency approached. However, according to Monday’s report, the rookie will not even test those waters, as he has decided to return to the New York on a multi-year deal. Nothing has been confirmed, but early reports indicate the contract is four years long. While Diawara is worth rostering in dynasty leagues, his redraft league value will depend in part on whether the Knicks can re-sign Landry Shamet.

Mohamed Diawara

NYK Forward #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mohamed Diawara (finger) has resumed on-court workouts and is expected to be ready to go when training camp opens in September.

Diawara, who had his moments during the 2025-26 regular season before falling out of the rotation for the team’s title run, injured his left ring finger during Summer League. While he did need to undergo surgery, the wing has already returned to the court and is expected to be fully ready when the Knicks open training camp in late September. There should once again be opportunities for Diawara to contribute during the regular season, but he is not a player to select in redraft leagues.
Tyler Nickel

NYK Guard-Forward

Tyler Nickel produced 16 points (6-of-14 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.

With returnees Mohamed Diawara (zero points, five rebounds, one assist and one block) and Pacôme Dadiet struggling mightily, Nickel has been one of the few bright spots for the Knicks in Las Vegas. After knocking down six three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Nets, the second-round pick hit four more on Saturday. Putting capable shooters around Jalen Brunson has been a priority of the Knicks’ decision-makers since signing the point guard, and Nickel certainly fits the mold.
Pacôme Dadiet

NYK Forward #4

Pacôme Dadiet recorded 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Nets.

While the Nets were able to flip to switch offensively after halftime, the Knicks continued to struggle, shooting 28 percent from the field on the day. Dadiet’s 20 points were the team’s highest, but he needed 16 attempts to reach that total. Like Mohamed Diawara (seven points, six rebounds and one three-pointer), Dadiet is hoping to earn a shot at consistent rotation opportunities next season for the reigning champs. That makes this summer critical for both, and Friday’s performances were lacking.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Shamet has been added to the lengthy list of Knicks players who won’t play in a game that won’t affect the team’s playoff seeding. His absence frees up playing time for Mohamed Diawara and Pacôme Dadiet, with the former offering a higher ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Mikal Bridges tallied 13 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Raptors.

Of the Knicks’ five starters, Bridges may be the only one guaranteed to play in Sunday’s game against the Hornets, preserving his consecutive games played streak. However, fantasy managers in active leagues who are rostering Bridges should not expect him to play starters’ minutes. Jordan Clarkson (10/1/4) and Mohamed Diawara (3/1/1/1) are likely to see their opportunities increase in the regular season finale.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (groin) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets.

Making his first appearance in a game since January 27 after undergoing sports hernia surgery, McBride may have aggravated the issue during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder. The good news is that he’s questionable for Tuesday’s game. If McBride can’t play on Tuesday, Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara would see their minutes increase.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (groin) left Sunday’s loss to the Thunder with 5:21 remaining in the third quarter.

Sunday’s game was the first for McBride since January 27, as he was returning from sports hernia surgery. During a scramble for a loose ball, the Knicks guard reached for his inner thigh area. While he was able to walk back to the bench without assistance, McBride did so gingerly. He did not return to the bench after heading to the locker room, and the severity of McBride’s injury is unknown. If he heads back to the sidelines, those minutes are likely to go to Jordan Clarkson, as Mohamed Diawara’s playing time has decreased recently.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) did not participate in Saturday’s practice.

Shamet has missed New York’s last three games with a knee injury, and he appears likely to sit out a fourth when the Knicks visit the Thunder on Sunday. Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara have moved up in the rotation, but neither has been consistent enough offensively to merit streaming in most leagues.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

Thursday’s game will be the third that Shamet has missed due to a tibial plateau contusion in his right knee. Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara are the players who will absorb those minutes, with the former having taken on more playing time recently.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Shamet, who exited Friday’s win over the Nets after banging knees with an opposing player, will miss a second consecutive game. Josh Hart (knee) returned to the lineup on Sunday and is off the injury report; he’ll take on his usual starting duties. Mohamed Diawara should once again absorb most of the minutes that would normally go to Shamet.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Pelicans have waived Hunter Dickinson.

The former Michigan and Kansas star went undrafted in 2025 but ended up signing with New Orleans on a two-way deal after the draft. He appeared in five games as rookie; once during the season opener after Yves Missi injured his ankle, and then during the final four games of the Pelicans’ season. Now, the 25-year-old big man will look for a new team to suit up for, though he will likely spend most of his time in the G League.

Santi Aldama (knee) is expected to be ready for training camp

Aldama underwent knee surgery in March that ended his season prematurely. He’ll won’t suit up for Spain during the FIBA World Cup qualifiers to prioritize his recovery, but he is expected to be ready for training camp in late September. Aldama was dealt to Dallas in July, so this will be a fresh start with a new team that is loaded with frontcourt talent.

Holiday may have signed to play next season in Italy, but reports indicate his contract includes an NBA out. If an NBA team is looking to add a reliable perimeter defender and ball handler during the season, they can buy out his contract with Maxima Roma and bring him over. Holiday could end up being a difference maker late this season.

Paschall has spent time in Puerto Rico, Italy and China since he last played in the NBA in 2022. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 14.0 points per game for the Warriors as a rookie and 9.5 points per game as a sophomore, but after spending his third season in Utah, he wasn’t able to find a new team to suit up for. His career will continue to take him around the world, though a return to the NBA seems unlikely at this point.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Hornets traded Tre Mann to the Cavaliers for Dennis Schröder and cash

Mann is headed to Cleveland after two-plus seasons in Charlotte, where he occupied a reserve role on most nights. Appearing in 53 games in 2025-26, the former first-round pick averaged 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 12.6 minutes. With Cleveland’s backcourt being headlined by Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, Mann is unlikely to be in a position where he can offer reliable fantasy value.

Dennis Schröder was acquired by the Hornets in exchange for Tre Mann, reports ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Cavaliers also sent cash considerations to the Hornets as part of the deal. According to various reports, the Cavaliers had been trying to offload Schröder’s contract since the NBA Draft. In this trade, they’ll save around $6 million in cap space. The Hornets will upgrade their backcourt depth here in the wake of trading LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves. Charlotte will be Schröder’s 12th team, bringing him one away from tying Ish Smith’s record for most teams played for. The 32-year-old point guard averaged 10.8 points and 4.9 assists in 70 games last season.
