Following his release, Diakite joined the Westchester Knicks as part of their opening-night roster in November.
On January 1, 2024, he signed a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs but was waived on March 2.
Diakite returned to the Westchester Knicks on March 6, 2024, and briefly signed a 10-day contract with the Knicks on March 14. He was then signed by the Knicks for the rest of the season on March 25.
On July 6, 2024, Diakite was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in a major deal involving several players and draft picks.
Before appearing in a game for the Nets, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies but was waived on August 27.
Last season, Diakite played six NBA games between the Spurs and Knicks, averaging 2 points per game.
