Mohamed Diawara to Make First Career Start Thursday vs. Pacers

Mohamed Diawara is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Pacers, as reported by Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. This will mark the first NBA start of his career. His promotion comes due to the unavailability of key players, including Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Mitchell Robinson (ankle), and Josh Hart (abdomen). Diawara will join Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Ariel Hukporti in the first unit for the Knicks.
