The New York Knicks need plenty of frontcourt depth, and they will certainly be in the mix for some available bigs as the trade deadline approaches. Mitchell Robinson still has not played a game this season with an ankle injury and it is unknown when he might make his return.

The 2025 NBA trade deadline is on the horizon. The Philadelphia 76ers will presumably be buyers, though they are not among the most eager teams to make a big splash. The Sixers prefer not to tank the remainder of this season, but their losing record will surely influence their approach before the deadline on Thursday, February 6.
