Kyle O’Quinn Turned Down Knicks To Play for More ‘than Next Year’s Draft’
Kyle O’Quinn turned down a deal to return to the Knicks because he wanted “to be a part of something bigger than next year’s draft.”
After six losing seasons in Orlando and New York, O’Quinn told the Indiana media, “I just felt like at this point, I owed it to myself.”

In a post on Instagram, O’Quinn made it clear that his comments were not meant to be a dig at the Knicks.
“Don’t take that the wrong way y’all it’s all love,” O’Quinn wrote.
