8:43pm: The Knicks have officially signed Mykhailiuk, the team announced on social media. He received a one-year, minimum deal with only $50K guaranteed, Fred Katz of The Athletic tweets.
12:59pm: Free agent swingman Svi Mykhailiuk is signing a one-year, partially guaranteed contract with the Knicks, Mykhailiuk’s agency SIG Sports informed Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
After being waived by the Raptors last month despite having a guaranteed salary for 2022/23, the Ukraine-born Mykhailiuk had indicated that he hoped to return to the NBA rather than pursuing a deal with a European club. That apparently included considering signing a G League contract if necessary.
Last season, the 6’7″ small forward averaged 4.6 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 0.8 APG, and 0.5 SPG across 56 games for Toronto. He posted shooting splits of .389/.306/.865. For his career, Mykhailiuk is a solid three-point shooter on volume, averaging 35.3% on 3.7 attempts.
The 25-year-old journeyman was first selected by the Lakers with the No. 47 pick after a four-year Kansas tenure in 2018. Prior to the Raptors last season, he has suited up for Los Angeles, the Pistons, and the Thunder.
New York has 13 players signed to its standard 15-man roster. Beyond Mykhailiuk’s non-guaranteed deal, the team also has DaQuan Jeffries and Ryan Arcidiacono signed to Exhibit 10 contracts, plus Feron Hunt and Trevor Keels on two-way contracts. The team also reportedly intends to sign two additional players, Jean Montero and Garrison Brooks, to Exhibit 10 deals.
Spain completely dominated every facet of the 1st 5mins of this EuroBasket final vs France. Willy doin #s early & winning his match up w/ Rudy so far. Spain up 14-5 but obv still a lot of game left to play
8pts for Willy in the 1st as Spain controlled the action while France struggled with turnovers & foul trouble. Fournier gotta pick it up & start making some plays bc Tony Parker ain’t walking thru that door. 9pt Spanish lead after 1
This thing gettin outta hand quick for Team France. Juancho came in the game nailing treys & the score is currently 32-16 in his team’s favor
It was Willy in the 1st qtr & Juancho in the 2nd (a ridiculous 6-7 from trey in the qtr). But a very impressive & very necessary 9-0 run from France, powered by Fournier, has cut the deficit to a more manageable 10 at halftime. France’s bench, esp Elie Okobo & Thomas Huertel, kept them in the game during Juanchos barrage
Spain look like their otw to the gold, up 12 w/ 4mins left. France sorta running out of gas after trying so hard to come back all game. Juancho def the player of the game to this point
He makes the Knicks look good and supportive of Ukraine
A wing who can shoot. We can use that. Why not give him a shot.
I really like this pick up and want to see Svi career take off. I really enjoyed watching him at Kansas.
Racist organization. Signed this clown while Carmelo is still available..:
The hell are you talking about?
A wise poster once said “if you sign a white person instead of Carmelo you’re a racist organization.” I was just relaying the wisdom
Nothing racist at all. It’s definitely time for Melo to just retire. It’s over for him. Give it a rest.
Disagree with respect. Very very small percentage of this country is motivated by bigotry. That’s despite what the media wants to tell us. Get out there and live and you’ll see for yourself.
Lmao
I hear you Sankara, and I’m not saying my experiences are your experiences. I’m just trying to pass on the hope. I feel for you and wish things weren’t what they are for some in this country. Much respect for your position and opinion.
A wiser person once said, if you pass on the information, you are part of the group who believe it.
It’s obviously true. Some people think there’s all sorts of different factors to weigh when signing basketball players, I.e. skill, cost, length of contract, salary cap, etc. etc. But in realty, there’s just 1 factor. Race
Hahaha. You know it.
Not sure how he keeps getting NBA jobs. Not good
I’m pretty sure he dunked on Robinson last year. I was surprised. I could be wrong that it was Robinson, but it was def some big who’s a great shot blocker. I remember texting one of my friends going on a rant of how pathetic that is. Anyways, there’s much worse ways a franchise can waste 50k
