Knicks Add Frontcourt Depth After Mitchell Robinson Leaves

What’s Happening with the Knicks?

The New York Knicks are a basketball team in the NBA. They need more players in their "frontcourt" (the big players near the basket). This need comes after Mitchell Robinson, one of their big players, left to join the Boston Celtics (another NBA team).

New Player Signing

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Knicks have done the following:

• They signed a player named Moussa Cissé.
• Moussa Cissé is a "restricted free agent" (this means his old team can still choose to keep him by matching the new offer).
• The contract is for two years.
• His old team, the Dallas Mavericks, has until Monday to match the offer sheet (the paper that shows the Knicks’ deal) and keep him.

Important: The Dallas Mavericks can still stop this move by matching the Knicks’ offer before Monday!
