Now in his third NBA season, Beauchamp has averaged 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds across 129 games. The Milwaukee Bucks drafted him 24th overall in 2022, and he posted 5.1 points and 2.2 rebounds per game as a rookie.
The 6’7″ forward spent his first two and a half seasons with the Bucks before being traded to the Clippers at the deadline in a deal involving Kevin Porter Jr. Before the trade, Beauchamp appeared in 26 games off the bench for Milwaukee and later saw limited action in three games with Los Angeles.
The Knicks’ addition of MarJon Beauchamp strengthens their frontcourt depth. Though he’s unlikely to see major minutes, Beauchamp serves as a reliable backup, ensuring the team has reinforcements if injuries impact the starting lineup.
The New York Knicks are getting healthier
New York is rolling, riding a three-game win streak and a 7-3 record over their last 10 games. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby have played a crucial role in their recent success. Their chemistry as a starting unit has helped solidify the team as one of the Eastern Conference’s top contenders.
The Knicks hold a 40-20 record, securing the third spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They trail the Boston Celtics by 2.5 games and sit 10 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top seed.
New York is addressing their challenges to stay competitive heading into the postseason. However, the most significant roster boost is one fans have anticipated all season. Mitchell Robinson’s long-awaited return saw him log 12 minutes and 21 seconds of action against the Pelicans.
After missing most of the season with an ankle injury, Robinson made an impact in his return, contributing six points, five rebounds, and one assist on 3-of-4 shooting in the Knicks’ 114-113 thriller over New Orleans.
Following their overtime victory against the Miami Heat on Sunday, the Knicks now turn their focus to their next challenge. They will host the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Beauchamp arrives in New York aiming to secure a role as the season winds down. The Knicks still have one open two-way spot after waiving Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin on Sunday.
According to some reports, the team is considering veterans Moses Brown, TJ Warren, and PJ Tucker as potential additions.
