New York – Forward Pacome Dadiet recorded the highest scoring output of his NBA career during the closing minutes of the New York Knicks’ game on Saturday, March 7, 2026. Entering the contest after the outcome was effectively decided, the rookie capitalized on extended garbage-time minutes to eclipse his previous personal best.
The Knicks did not disclose the exact point total immediately after the final buzzer, but team officials confirmed that the figure surpassed Dadiet’s prior high. The 20-year-old entered the night averaging limited minutes off the bench.
Dadiet, selected by New York in the first round of the 2025 draft, had previously scored in single digits in every appearance. Saturday’s performance marks the first double-digit effort of his young career.
