The New York Knicks acquired the draft rights to Nigerian player James Nnaji in a trade involving the Timberwolves and Hornets. Despite speculation, head coach Tom Thibodeau expressed admiration for Nnaji, seeing him as a talent to watch for the future. However, with an already crowded frontcourt rotation, Nnaji’s role with the Knicks remains uncertain and he could serve more as a trade asset.
Currently on loan to Girona, Nnaji is gaining valuable playing time, averaging 7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. His contract with Barcelona runs until 2027, but his NBA future might hinge on his performance in the next Summer League, where Thibodeau has shown interest in seeing him play.
