With the quarantines linked to Covid-19 and injuries, the signatures of “joker” are multiplying in the NBA, but they are not all striking. Ryan Arcidiacono’s is on the other hand interesting because The Athletic specifies that even if he is signed for 10 days, the 27-year-old has chances to stay all season.
Why ? Because the former Bulls, who played in the G-League this year (12.7 points and 8.2 assists on average in six games with the Maine Celtics), has a scathing leader profile that Tom Thibodeau necessarily likes.
But above all because Derrick Rose had surgery on his right ankle and will be out for at least two months, and Kemba Walker may have relapsed during the warm-up against the Thunder.
So is Ryan Arcidiacono’s signing any indication of how serious the issue with Kemba Walker is?
The New York Knicks are planning to sign guard Ryan Arcidiacono to a 10-day contract, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. There’s strong possibility for Arcidiacono to stick for the season.
