The New York Knicks are reportedly eyeing a new contract for free-agent power forward Precious Achiuwa following Isaiah Hartenstein's departure to the Oklahoma City Thunder, per The Athletic's Fred Katz . "One name to watch is Precious Achiuwa, the unrestricted free agent who filled in admirably as a backup center and power forward for the Knicks this past season," Katz wrote.
