New York has begun surveying the market for potential guard upgrades, and Donte DiVincenzo has emerged as one of the players drawing interest from the Knicks.

The team has held preliminary conversations with a pair of Western Conference franchises as it explores different trade scenarios ahead of the deadline.

Those discussions have reportedly centered on backcourt options, with both DiVincenzo and Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado coming up in various frameworks.

While nothing appears imminent, the talks suggest the Knicks are actively evaluating ways to reshape their rotation and add versatility on the perimeter.

DiVincenzo has played 8 seasons for 5 teams, including the Bucks and Timberwolves. He has averaged 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 441 regular-season games.

He has won 1 NBA championship.
