Knicks convert Ariel Hukporti’s contract, sign Matt Ryan

While much of the attention on the Knicks today centers around their return to Houston, marking their first visit since Jacyn Goble’s controversial late-game call last season, New York has quietly made a pair of anticipated moves.

The New York Knicks and two-way center Ariel Hukporti have agreed on a standard two-year NBA contract, sources tell ESPN. The new deal for Hukporti includes a team option in 2025-26 season. The 7-footer out of Germany has served as a viable big man in Knicks frontcourt. pic.twitter.com/0EQGoqp4Zx
