New York Knicks Make A Roster Decision

The New York Knicks announced a roster decision.

Quentin Grimes is in his third season playing for the New York Knicks and has become one of the team's best role players. 

Through the first three games of the new season, Grimes has averages of 7.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 35.3% from the three-point range (he is averaging 25.0 minutes of playing time). 

On Monday, the Knicks announced that they have picked up the fourth-year option on his contract. 

The move comes as no surprise, and he will now be paid $4.3 million during the 2024-25 season before entering restricted free agency in the summer of 2025 (via Spotrac).

Over 120 regular season games, he has averages of 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 38.3% from the three-point range (he has also appeared in nine NBA playoff games).

The Knicks are currently 1-2 in their first three games and coming off a 96-87 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. 

They will play their next game on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio. 

Last season, the Knicks were the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference and defeated the Cavs in the first round of the NBA playoffs, which was their first time winning a playoff series since 2013.

Following the Cavs, the Knicks lost to the Miami Heat in the second round.
