Knicks On SI NBA Draft Tracker: 2nd Round

The New York Knicks hope someone nifty is still around at fifty.

The New York Knicks will be on the clock on Thursday night when the NBA Draft resumes at Barclays Center (8 p.m. ET, ESPN), holding the 50th selection of the 2025 proceedings. That choice originally belonged to the Memphis Grizzlies and was obtained in a 2024 draft night deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

New York had its original selection, which would've been the 56th selection but it was taken away as a tampering charge into the Jalen Brunson acquisition. The Knicks, of course, can also trade back into the round, as their frequent shifts from last season eventually landed Tyler Kolek, Kevin McCullar Jr. and Ariel Hukporti.

Keep track of it all with Knicks on SI's second-round tracker, documented in detail below.
