NBA free agency and summer league play are underway, and a pair of former Tar Heels find themselves headed in completely different directions.
Isaiah Hicks signed a two-way contract with the New York Knicks on Tuesday, marking the second consecutive season that he’s done so. Hicks’ was one of the first NBA players to play under a two-way contract when the league introduced them in 2017.
He appeared in 18 games with the Knicks last season, averaging 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in just over 13 minutes per game. He scored double-digit points on two occasions, including a career-high 15 in his final appearance of the season against the Cavaliers on April 11th.
