The Knicks traded Bates-Diop (shin) to the Timberwolves alongside Julius Randle (shoulder) and Donte DiVincenzo in a three-team deal that also sent DaQuan Jeffries to Charlotte, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports. Bates-Diop was traded from the Nets to the Knicks earlier this offseason but will now return to Minnesota, where he started his NBA career back in 2018-19. Bates-Diop will likely compete for depth minutes in the Timberwolves' forward rotation.

Keita Bates-Diop Latest News
Headed to Minnesota
The Knicks traded Bates-Diop (shin) to the Timberwolves alongside Julius Randle (shoulder) and Donte DiVincenzo in a three-team deal that also sent DaQuan Jeffries to Charlotte, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports. Bates-Diop was traded from the Nets to the Knicks earlier this offseason but will now return to Minnesota, where he started his NBA career back in 2018-19. Bates-Diop will likely compete for depth minutes in the Timberwolves' forward rotation.
Dealt to Knicks
The Nets are trading Bates-Diop (shin), Mikal Bridges to the Knicks in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic, Shake Milton, four unprotected first-round picks, an unprotected pick swap and a second-round pick Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Bates-Diop averaged 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 53 appearances between the Nets and Suns in 2023-24. With OG Anunoby (hamstring), Mikal Bridges, Julius Randle (shoulder) and Josh Hart all featuring ahead of Bates-Diop in the forward rotation, he will likely compete for depth minutes.
Exercises player option
Bates-Diop (shin) exercised his $2.65 million player option Monday for the 2024-25 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. This is an expected move for Bates-Diop. The forward made just 14 appearances for the Nets last season, averaging 1.6 points in 4.9 minutes per game. Bates-Diop missed the end of the season with a right shin stress reaction, but he's expected to be healthy entering training camp.
Ruled out for season
The Nets announced Wednesday that Bates-Diop (shin) will miss the rest of the season, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Bates-Diop was slated to miss a second consecutive game Wednesday due to a right shin stress reaction, and he underwent a procedure to address the issue. While he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the year, he's expected to resume on-court activity in approximately one month, so it seems unlikely that the issue will impact his availability for the start of next season. Over 53 appearances between the Suns and Nets this year, he averaged 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game.
Won't play Wednesday
Bates-Diop (shin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Bates-Diop will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a right shin stress reaction. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to suit up will be Friday against Chicago.
Won't go Monday
Bates-Diop has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors due to a right shin stress reaction, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports. Bates-Diop hasn't been much of a factor since joining the Nets, so he shouldn't be missed much. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Wizards.
