New York Knicks center Kyle O’Quinn has declined the $4.2 million contract for the 2018-19 season to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, league sources told ESPN.
O’Quinn, 28, had his best NBA season for the Knicks and should be among the better back-up centers available in the summer marketplace.
O’Quinn averaged 7.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 58 percent shooting in 18 minutes a game for the Knicks. New York’s starting center, Enes Kanter, has to make a decision on exercising his $18 million player option late this month.
O’Quinn completed his sixth NBA season, including three years with Orlando and three with New York.
