Wraps up rookie campaign
Diawara finished the season with a DNP-CD in all five games of the NBA Finals, and he appeared in only six games during the playoffs. The 21-year-old forward saw brief stretches of increased playing time, especially when Miles McBride missed 27 consecutive contests from Jan. 28 to March 26 due to sports hernia surgery. During that span, Diawara averaged 5.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in 14.2 minutes per game.

Muted role in 2025-26
While Dadiet appeared in 11 more games than he did as a rookie, he averaged fewer minutes per game and scored in double figures just twice. However, the 20-year-old swingman took a step forward in the G League compared to 2024-25. Over 19 appearances with the Westchester Knicks this season, he averaged 22.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.6 minutes per contest.

Sees increased run in 2025-26
Kolek didn't see the floor during the Finals and logged double-digit minutes just three times during the postseason. The 25-year-old point guard took on an increased role in his second season but lost consistent playing time after Jose Alvarado was traded to New York. Kolek is under contract for next season, and the Knicks hold a team option on his contract for 2027-28.
