Mohamed Diawara is expected to be the first player in Knicks history to wear an NBA Debut Patch in his first regular season on-court appearance.
After the game, the patch will be removed from his jersey and inserted into a 1-of-1 autographed trading card.

The Knicks selected French wing Mohamed Diawara at No. 51
Diawara, 20, is 6’9 with a 9’2 standing reach. He struggles with shooting and dribbling but has great size and defensive versatility. He’s close friends with Pacôme Dadiet.
