The Knicks are trying to capitalize off their on-court success with a shrewd move off the court.
New York had a roster spot and cap space so they signed Luca Vildoza (Baskonia) of the Spanish ACB League. There’s little doubt that the 25 year old guard would’ve been a hot commodity once NBA free agency started.
Vildoza, was the MVP of the 2020 Spanish ACB finals and is a member of Argentina’s national team.
There’s no timetable for Vildoza to join the club.
Harden’s Return

Harden won’t play in tonight’s game against Dallas but he’s traveling with the team.
