The New York Knicks have agreed to a four-year $13.6 million deal with Baskonia guard Luca Vildoza, according to ESPN s Adrian Wojnarowski.
While the framework of the contract is in place, Wojnarowski reported it s unclear when Vildoza will suit up for the Knicks because he needs to pass a physical, get the necessary immigration approval and follow the NBA s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Vildoza averaged 10.9 points and 3.7 assists in 27 Spanish league games this season. He also put up 10.3 points and 3.5 assists per game over 32 EuroLeague appearances.
SNY s Ian Begley reported April 28 the Knicks were working toward a deal with Vildoza s representatives. While New York has only seven games left in the regular season, signing Vildoza now allowed the team to get ahead of the market.
