The New York Knicks are interested in Walker Kessler, per SNY’s Ian Begley. Kessler has been on team’s minds since the beginning of this offseason.

With New York losing Isaiah Hartenstein, there has been a feeling that they need to get another center to complement Jericho Sims and Mitchell Robinson.

While the Utah Jazz aren’t in love with Kessler anymore, seeing how he is now on their Summer League team and losing playing time last season, they still have a price tag for him. The price? A first-round pick.

New York does not have first-round picks, as they used them all to get Mikal Bridges, but they do have protected ones that aren’t projected to be as valuable as possible in trades.

Kessler, who is 22 years old, is making $2.9 million this season – a manageable amount to try to trade for a piece like them.

Mitchell Robinson Returning Within The Next Week

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks will see their center make his season debut within the next week.

Mitchell Robinson has completed multiple full scrimmages recently, as he has one more scheduled with the intention of him being cleared to return.

The 26-year-old has been out since Game 1 of their second round matchup against the New York Knicks. Robinson has been dealing with an ankle injury, which involved surgery, and has been rehabbing for months to get to this point.

New York hopes his return will add a nice addition, a boost, to their frontcourt.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania, the New York Knicks are waiving Landry Shamet after he suffered a dislocated right shoulder.

The 27-year-old agreed to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract earlier in the offseason; many within the organization expected him to make the roster and have quality minutes. However, this injury has derailed those plans.

New York has three roster spots available; they must sign two players to meet the required 14-player roster.

When Shamet gets healthy, they will consider bringing him back.
