Knicks Open Camp With Clarkson, Yabusele as Brown Tests Depth and Roles

Coach Mike Brown says roles will be earned through open competition in camp.

Overview

  • Training camp opened in Westchester with the core intact after a 51‑win, conference‑finals season and with Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele positioned as rotation additions.
  • Brown praised the team’s depth and said his staff will spend time finding the right combinations, noting the value of veterans who can be trusted in any moment.
  • Declaring that no one is ahead of anyone, Brown said every player must compete regardless of contract status.
  • The Knicks brought in multiple veterans to battle for what is likely their final minimum roster spot barring a trade, setting up a competitive camp.
  • Clarkson, a former Sixth Man of the Year, said he will fit the system and provide scoring, while Yabusele emphasized energy and growth after returning from overseas and a season with the 76ers.
