Knicks recall him
The Knicks recalled Diawara from the G League Westchester Knicks on Friday.
Analysis
Diawara had a brief stint at the G League level but is back with New York and could be an option in the rotation for Saturday's game against the 76ers. That said, he's not expected to see a big enough role to be an option in most fantasy formats. Diawara is averaging a mere 4.5 minutes per game at the NBA level since the beginning of January.

Logs garbage-time run in blowout
Diawara played the final 7:47 of Wednesday's 120-66 win over the Nets, finishing with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist.
Analysis
Recalled from the G League's Westchester Knicks prior to Wednesday's contest, Diawara was able to get in some run during garbage time while New York emptied the bench in a franchise-record 54-point victory. The rookie forward could rejoin Westchester ahead of its next game Friday at home versus the Windy City Bulls.

Retreats to bench
Diawara will come off the bench Monday against Dallas.
Analysis
Diawara will rejoin the second unit with Josh Hart (ankle) getting the green light to suit up. Diawara started Saturday against the Suns, but he saw just 12 minutes with three points, four rebounds and two assists.
