Shake Milton, previously a guard for the Detroit Pistons, has reached a buyout agreement with the team, making him a free agent. Milton, who was part of the Pistons following a trade from the Timberwolves at the trade deadline, has fulfilled the postseason eligibility requirement by beating the March 1 deadline. He had $1.2 million left on his contract with Detroit, with a salary of $5 million for the 2024-25 season but with $0 guaranteed money. Following this agreement, Milton is expected to sign with the New York Knicks after clearing waivers, providing the Knicks with backcourt depth and scoring amid their injury-riddled roster. Multiple postseason contenders had shown interest in Milton, but reports indicate that he will be joining the Knicks, aiming to bolster their playoff roster.
