On Wednesday afternoon, rumored San Antonio Spurs target Willy Hernangomez was traded by the New York Knicks, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports. Hernangomez will go to the Charlotte Hornets for center Johnny O’Bryant and second-round picks in 2020 and 2021.
This trade comes days after the Spanish center requested a move or more playing time from the Knicks. It’s also less than 24 hours after the team lost All-Star Kristaps Porzingis to a torn ACL, so the team’s frontcourt took multiple hits, even with O’Bryant’s arrival as potential depth off the bench.
