Knicks Re-Sign Precious Achiuwa for One Year

The New York Knicks have re-signed Precious Achiuwa to a one-year, $6 million contract. Achiuwa, who joined the Knicks in a midseason trade from the Toronto Raptors, averaged 7.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in 49 games last season. With the departure of Isaiah Hartenstein to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Achiuwa is expected to fill the backup center role behind Mitchell Robinson. His versatility and strong rebounding make him a valuable asset, despite his struggles with outside shooting. The signing helps the Knicks maintain depth in their frontcourt while staying under the salary cap's second apron. Achiuwa's familiarity with the team and system under coach Tom Thibodeau is seen as a positive factor for his continued development with the Knicks.
