With the No. 13 pick, Jalen Duren was selected by the Hornets. However, he was eventually traded to the Pistons in a trade that also includes the Knicks, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
After Duren was selected by Charlotte, his rights were traded over to the Knicks. New York then traded Duren to Detroit in a trade package that also includes guard Kemba Walker. It’s unknown at this time what the Knicks are getting in return.
The Knicks reportedly made this move so that they can clear up some salary space as they pursue free agent Jalen Brunson, per Marc Stein.
