The New York Knicks were forced to forfeit their 2025 second-round draft pick as a result of the NBAâs investigation into tampering during the signing of Jalen Brunson.
On Wednesday afternoon though, they were hit with some bad news in regards to the league’s investigation into tampering this past offseason when the Knicks were talking with Jalen Brunson during free agency.
According to the NBA’s report, the New York Knicks violated league rules governing the “timing of this season’s free agency discussions” and as a result, the team will forfeit their 2025 second-round pick. The league’s report also stated that the Knicks engaged in free agency discussions involving Jalen Brunson prior to the date when such discussions were permitted.
