Overview
- Malcolm Brogdon agreed to a one-year deal with New York, his agent Sam Permut told ESPN on Friday.
- Landry Shamet rejoined on Thursday on a one-year agreement, and both his and Brogdon’s contracts are non‑guaranteed, with Garrison Mathews also entering camp to compete for the lone spot.
- The Knicks are roughly $3.7 million below the second apron, providing room for one veteran minimum and one rookie minimum unless salary is cleared via trade or other moves.
- Brogdon, 32, is a former Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year who appeared in 24 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 12.7 points and 4.1 assists while dealing with injuries.
- Shamet returned after an efficient late-season and playoff stretch last year and prioritized continuity in New York, according to SNY’s Ian Begley.
