The Knicks have agreed to a trade that will send forward Obi Toppin to the Knicks for two second-round picks, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

This marks the second big move for Indiana, which also agreed to a deal with former Nuggets guard Bruce Brown, as we relayed here.

Along with that, they earlier agreed to a trade that will send shooting guard Chris Duarte to the Kings, as we relayed here.

The No. 8 overall pick in 2020, Toppin averaged 7.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 67 games last season.
