The New York Knicks are expecting French center Joakim Noah to return to action, Monday, following a 20-game suspension and are looking to trade Lithuanian forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas in order to make the necessary space on their roster.

As ESPN reports, waiving Kuzminskas isn’t considered a preferable option so he’s being shopped to other clubs.

Per ESPN:

“The club has contacted teams recently to gauge interest in forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas, opposing executives told ESPN. The interest level in Kuzminskas, who hasn’t been part of the Knicks’ rotation this season, is unclear. It’s worth noting that Kuzminskas, 28, was productive when given minutes last season (he averaged 6.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists in 15 minutes per game) and that he had a strong showing for Lithuania in the European Championships.”
