Precious Achiuwa’s performance forcing a tough Knicks decision
NY Post
PORTLAND, Ore. — Precious Achiuwa picked a good time to have the best season of his NBA career.
But it will probably be tougher to keep that up now that he’s moving back to the bench.
With OG Anunoby’s return this week from elbow surgery, Achiuwa was moved from starting power forward to mostly backup center.
He still played very well in Tuesday’s win over the Sixers, but the playing time dipped — especially compared to his 40-minute average in the 12 games immediately after Anunoby’s injury — and the role change presents questions about how it might impact Achiuwa’s free agency and future in New York.
Predictably, Achiuwa, a restricted free agent in the summer, didn’t want to dive into the topic ahead of Thursday’s game against the Blazers.
“Right now, I’m just focused on the season. Obviously that’s something that is going to come around. When that time comes that’s something we’re gonna talk about. Of course cross that bridge,” Achiuwa said. “But for right now just focus on the season, make this last push for the playoffs and of course make a good playoff push.”
