Trade Announcement
In a significant move ahead of the trade deadline, Dalen Terry, a forward known for his time at the University of Arizona, has been traded from the Chicago Bulls to the New York Knicks, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. This trade, which marks a fresh start for the 23-year-old player, involved the Bulls receiving Guerschon Yabusele in exchange.
Performance Overview
Terry’s tenure with the Bulls has been underwhelming, during which he participated in 34 games this season, averaging 3.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per outing. Despite struggling for consistent playing time, he recently saw an uptick in minutes, notably logging 29 and 28 in consecutive games against the Miami Heat.
Contract and Shooting Improvement
As he enters the final year of his rookie contract, Terry has shown improvement in his shooting, achieving a personal best of 41.3% from beyond the arc with a total of 46 attempts, and shooting 44.1% overall from the field.
Future with the Knicks
Joining the Knicks, who are currently in the middle of a competitive playoff race in the Eastern Conference, Terry is expected to enhance their backcourt, especially with key players like Josh Hart and Miles McBride sidelined due to injuries. Drafted 18th overall in 2022, the former Arizona star aims to revitalize his career in New York after a brief and challenging period in Chicago.
