Report: Mavericks Hiring Veteran Knicks Scout
How the tables have turned for the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks.
Per Marc J. Spears of Andscape, the Mavericks are set to hire veteran Knicks scout Makhtar N’diaye to serve as their director of pro personnel and international scouting. N’diaye, 50, spent the past nine years working with the Knicks behind the scenes.
N’Diaye is perhaps best-known for his two collegiate seasons at North Carolina, where his physical play was a headline during the Tar Heels’ run to the Final Four in 1998. He would later play four NBA games with the Vancouver Grizzlies during the 1999 season, making history in the process.
Despite his limited NBA tenure, N’Diaye became the first Senegalese player to suit up in an Association contest. That list now includes 2013 first-round pick Gorgui Dieng and current Westchester Knicks head coach DeSagana Diop.
After his historic NBA cameo, N’Diaye spent nearly a decade playing professional ball overseas, primarily in France, though he did return to American hardwood during the 2001-02 season, when he repped the North Charleston Lowgators in the G League (then known as the NBA Development League). Prior to joining the Knicks, N’Diaye was a certified player agent at the Wasserman Media Group and he also currently serves as the general manager of Senegal’s men’s national basketball team, which captured a bronze medal at the most recent FIBA AfroBasket tournament in 2021.
In this day and age, the interconference match between the Mavericks and Knicks is best-known for Jalen Brunson’s transfer from North Texas to Manhattan during the summer of 2022, one that tipped off a slight war of attrition between the two sides.
Frustrated with the Knicks’ hiring of Brunson’s father Rick as an assistant coach prior to the signing, Dallas eventually filed a complaint with the NBA, whose ensuing investigation charged the Knicks with the loss of a second-round pick due to supposed tampering.

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.

The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
