The New York Knicks added a little competition to their interior picture by signing Chuma Okeke, formerly of the Orlando Magic.
The transactional wizardry continued on Thursday, asreported that the Knicks added former Orlando Magic forward Chuma Okeke to the fold. That signing comes after New York re-upped with Precious Achiuwa, a listed forward currently expected to serve as the bacup center behind Mitchell Robinson.
Okeke, who turns 26 this month, has had a bit of a cursed professional tenure: some envisioned him as a lottery pick after a strong year-plus at Auburn, but he was injured on the Tigers' road to the Final Four. Orlando chose him 16th overall in 2019 and he lingered in the primary rotation amidst a rebuild. Things, however, fell out this year as he averaged less than 10 minutes a game after several Central Floridian developments .
