Brogdon embarks on new chapter with Knicks to enhance backcourt strength
Former Bucks Rookie of the Year joins rival Knicks
Malcolm Brogdon’s journey through the NBA continues as he finds a new home with the New York Knicks. The seasoned guard, who once dazzled with the Milwaukee Bucks, is set to bring his talents to Madison Square Garden after a series of trades that have marked his recent career.
A turbulent path through the league
Brogdon, who was named the NBA Rookie of the Year during his stint in Milwaukee, has not enjoyed much stability in the past few seasons. After being traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Boston Celtics, he was part of a significant roster shift that saw the Celtics acquire Tyrese Haliburton. This move triggered a chain reaction, leading to Brogdon being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for veteran guard Jrue Holiday in 2023.
His time in Portland was short-lived, as he soon found himself on the move again, this time to the Washington Wizards in a trade that sent Deni Avdija to the Blazers. Despite showcasing his skills, Brogdon has yet to find a team willing to commit to him for the long term, leaving many to wonder about his future in the league.
New beginnings with the Knicks
Now, Brogdon has officially signed a one-year deal with the Knicks, as reported by Shams Charania. This move marks a new chapter for the 31-year-old guard, who is expected to provide crucial backcourt depth for a Knicks team that is focused on making a championship run.
The Knicks, who are eager to build on their recent successes, see Brogdon as a valuable addition. His experience and versatility will be key as the team navigates the challenges of the upcoming season. With this signing, Brogdon returns to the Eastern Conference, now donning the colors of a rival team, bringing both intrigue and anticipation to his next chapter in New York.
