Overview
- Marc Stein reported, citing league sources, that New York has put Yabusele and Dadiet on the market in advance of the Feb. 5 deadline.
- The Knicks are 24-14 after dropping five of their last six games, and they are 6-7 since winning the NBA Cup.
- Yabusele signed a two-year, $12 million deal after a strong 2024-25 with Philadelphia but is averaging 3.3 points in 9.9 minutes this season for New York.
- Dadiet, the No. 25 pick in 2024, is a 20-year-old developmental wing who has appeared in 32 games across two seasons and averaged 1.1 points.
- Reporting frames the availability as groundwork for minor adjustments rather than a major overhaul as both players have seen limited roles under coach Mike Brown.
