The Knicks drafted Kukporti with the No. 58 pick of the second round in the 2024 NBA draft after acquiring the selection from the Dallas Mavericks.
The German big man, who is just 22 years old and measures 6-foot-11 and 246 pounds, is one of the very few centers within the organization entering the 2025 season.
