Overview

  • New York completed its two-way allotment with Trey Jemison III and Tosan Evbuomwan, with Kevin McCullar Jr. returning on a two-way deal.
  • Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet, Alex Len, Matt Ryan, Garrison Mathews and rookie Mohamed Diawara signed non-guaranteed Exhibit contracts to compete for limited veteran-minimum spots.
  • The Knicks now have a full 21-player camp roster after additional procedural moves, including waiving Dink Pate and Bryson Warren, and must cut to 15 standard deals plus three two-ways before opening night.
  • Operating roughly $3.7 million below the second-apron hard cap, the team faces tight constraints on guaranteed additions, with reports positioning Diawara for a rookie-minimum slot via the second-round exception.
  • A guard logjam has prompted at least one offer for second-year guard Tyler Kolek, with league sources expecting a roster-clearing trade for draft capital to be considered.
