Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Suffers fractured right hand
Rotowire
Jeffries suffered a fractured right fifth metacarpal Tuesday and is without a timetable for return, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Jeffries was recently acquired from New York and was already facing an uphill battle for rotation minutes in Charlotte. A timetable hasn't been announced yet, but Jeffries' preseason is surely over.
The Knicks have traded Jeffries and draft compensation to the Hornets as part of a three-team deal that will send Karl-Anthony Towns to New York and Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Jeffries is likely being included in this deal mostly as a salary filler. In 2023-24, the 27-year-old forward averaged 2.7 minutes across 17 regular-season appearances. Jeffries is not expected to be heavily featured in Charlotte's rotation.
Jeffries had five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Jeffries made a rare appearance Sunday as the Knicks went deep into their rotation. The Pacers dominated from start to finish, meaning even Tom Thibodeau couldn't justify playing his starters big minutes. Obviously, this is not something fans should expect to see very often during the postseason.

DaQuan Jeffries: Reaches free agency
Rotowire
Jeffries became a free agent Sunday after his second 10-day contract with the Knicks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
In order to retain Jeffries, the Knicks would have to sign him to a rest-of-season deal, but it's unclear if the organization intends to keep him around. Jeffries -- who opened the season as a member of the 15-man roster before being waived in December and later re-signing on a pair of 10-day deals -- has appeared in just 13 games for New York and is averaging 2.6 minutes per contest.

Jeffries agreed to a second 10-day contract with the Knicks on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Over the course of two different contracts with the Knicks, Jeffries has appeared in 13 games but has averaged just 2.6 minutes per contest. Unless New York opts to bring him back on a second 10-day deal or unless another team elects to sign him, Jeffries will likely stick in the organization as a member of the G League's Westchester Knicks. He was assigned to Westchester on Friday and posted 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 33 minutes during a win over the Motor City Crusie.
