Talk of the New York Knicks becoming the “Nova Knicks” is likely viral soon after the club’s arrangement with Donte DiVincenzo on a 4-12 months offer on Saturday.
The most current signing by the Knicks reunites former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart with their national champion teammate. Hart, who was part of the Wildcats’ 2016 title crew, agreed to a contract extension to continue being with New York on Thursday. Brunson and DiVincenzo had been freshman on the ’16 workforce and significant contributors to Villanova’s championship squad in 2018 as properly.
Nevertheless, the trio really don’t seem settled with just the trio reuniting.
After the information of Hart re-signing with New York broke Friday, yet another former Villanova teammate, Brooklyn’s Mikal Bridges posted a clip of him creating the “call me” gesture.

Hart was a vital element of New York’s late-time and playoff achievements, averaging 10.2 factors, 7. rebounds, and 3.6 helps in 25 frequent-period games with New York. On Saturday evening, Hart appeared to be playfully making an attempt to recruit Bridges from Barclays Center to Madison Square Garden.

Bridges, who agreed to four-calendar year $90 million agreement extension whilst with Phoenix back in 2021, excelled soon after being traded to Brooklyn in the Kevin Durant trade with the Suns.
But that didn’t seem to prevent Brunson from signing up for the celebration with a hilarious tweet with regards to DiVincenzo’s deal—as the Knicks place guard pretended not to know whom his crew experienced just obtained.
Who? 🙄
