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.
