The New York Knicks are set to place forward Jeremy Sochan into their active rotation, a move that will come at the expense of fellow forward Mohamed Diawara, according to a February 18, 2026 report.
The report indicates that team decision-makers believe Sochan’s versatility and defensive energy warrant immediate playing time. To clear minutes, Diawara is expected to lose his spot in the Knicks’ regular rotation.
Further details on how head coach Tom Thibodeau will reshape his lineups were not disclosed, but the change is poised to take effect as New York continues its push through the second half of the NBA season.
