As expected, Donte DiVincenzo joins the Knicks to find his former teammates from Villanova College.
The back Donte DiVincenzo will experience its fourth franchise in six seasons. Draft by the Bucks in 2018, he was transferred to the Kings last year. Signed by the Warriors during the offseason, he did not activate his 4.7 million player option, in order to test the market and obtain a more lucrative deal. It’s done, teaches us the insider Adrian Wojnarowski. DiVincenzo has signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the Knicks. An expected Big Apple signing that reforms the Villanova University trio also made up of Jalen Brunson et Josh Hart. . . . New York uses it Mid-Level Exception to repatriate him from the Bay, thanks to Josh Hart who activated his player option earlier in the week.
26-year-old Donte DiVincenzo played 72 games for the Warriors, including 36 starts during the absence ofAndrew Wiggins. Two-way player solid, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 26 minutes of playing time. He also recorded his best season in terms of long-range skill with 39.7% success on more than 5 attempts per game. He will be one of the strong men of the coach’s second unit Tom Thibodeau. After this signing and the transfer earlier in the evening from the interior Obi Toppinthe Knicks should be four million under luxury tax and still have a free place in their roster.
