DETROIT, MICHIGAN - APRIL 10: Cade Cunningham #2 of the Detroit Pistons drives to the basket against Landry Shamet #44 of the New York Knicks during the fourth quarter of a game at Little Caesars Arena on April 10, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

Overview

  • Agent Sam Permut told ESPN that Brogdon agreed to a one‑year deal, with SNY reporting the contract is non‑guaranteed.
  • Brogdon, Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews are set to vie in training camp for what is expected to be one available roster spot.
  • The Knicks are hard‑capped at the NBA’s second apron with roughly $3.7 million of room, limiting them to one veteran minimum slot unless salary is moved.
  • League reports indicate the front office is weighing trades to create flexibility, with Pacôme Dadiet or Tyler Kolek mentioned as potential outgoing pieces.
  • New coach Mike Brown is expected to consider Brogdon for rotation minutes, balancing his playmaking and past 3‑point efficiency against a recent 24‑game season due to injuries.
