More on this storyline

Rod Boone: Nick Richards is questionable to return due to right shoulder soreness. Yet another injury. -via x.com / November 1, 2024 Richards, who league sources tell The Athletic is someone the Knicks have had on their radar this offseason, is a big, physical specimen with a good motor. He rebounds OK, too, and can be disruptive at the rim. McBride, though, is the best player in this deal, so I'd be hesitant to do this particular trade if I were running the Knicks' front office, even if it addresses a need. -via New York Times / September 25, 2024
