Knicks' Hartenstein, a Magic Free-Agent Target in 2022, Is on the Market Again

The Orlando Magic's frontcourt nearly looked much different than the one they deployed in the 2023-24 season. Yahoo Sports reported that the Magic nearly signed center Isaiah Hartenstein in the 2022 offseason before he agreed to a two-year, $16-million deal with the New York Knicks. Hartenstein mostly came off the bench in the 2022-23 season, but got his shot this past season and played in 75 games for New York, 49 of which he started. The 7-foot center averaged 7.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
