The New York Knicks roster added a body just ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the tanking Indiana Pacers.
Per the official NBA G League transaction wire, New York recalled second-year guard Pacome Dadiet from Westchester.
Dadiet, 20, was the 25th selection in the 2024 NBA draft. The Aubagne, France, native entered the Association with relatively optimistic expectations, but he hasn’t yet carved out a particular role for himself.
Appearing in 23 games this season, Dadiet is averaging 1.2 points, 0.4 assists, and 0.1 steals per game in 3.7 minutes. It was just a short few days ago when the Knicks most recently assigned Dadiet to Westchester — along with center Ariel Hukporti and point guard Tyler Kolek.
However, Kolek and Hukporti were recalled shortly following the assignment, whereas Dadiet hung tight for a few days. Unlike the Knicks’ somewhat concerning win over the less-than-stellar Golden State Warriors (sans Stephen Curry and Draymond Green), Pacome Dadiet will be available on Tuesday night.
Tip-off between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET from Madison Square Garden.
