Isaiah Hartenstein had a highly productive season with the New York Knicks, concluding the regular season with averages of 7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. He shot an impressive 64.4% from the field across 75 games.
Following reports from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that the Knicks acquired star forward Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets in a major trade on Tuesday evening, SNY’s Ian Begley noted that Hartenstein may depart in free agency. According to Begley, Hartenstein is expected to be a sought-after target for multiple teams. Given the anticipated offers he will receive, it appears increasingly unlikely that the Knicks will retain him.
Hartenstein, selected as the 43rd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, has played six seasons in the league with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks. Throughout his career, he has maintained averages of 6.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 59.6% from the field and 31.0% from three-point range across 322 regular-season games.
