On Saturday evening, the New York Knicks will face off against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis.

Before the game, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported that the Knicks had agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Toronto Raptors to acquire OG Anunoby.

Charania also reported that the Knicks will waive four-year NBA player DaQuan Jeffries in a related move.

Jeffries has played in ten games so far this season and is averaging 1.1 points per contest.
