Exciting news for the Knicks as they sign Dmytro Skapintsev to bolster their center position after losing Mitchell Robinson. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Skapintsev has been signed to a two-way contract after his successful stint with the Westchester Knicks in the G-League.
Before joining the Knicks, Skapintsev displayed his skills in 13 games this season, averaging 5.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 18.6 minutes per game. His addition comes at a crucial time for the team as injuries have left them short on options at center.
The Knicks have waived Jaylen Martin to make room for the 7-foot-1 big man, showing their commitment to strengthening their team. They are also looking to secure a Disabled Player Exception (DPE) after Robinson’s expected lengthy absence, which would give them more flexibility in potential trades.
