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 contract, adding experienced backcourt help behind Jalen Brunson.
  • The deal is non‑guaranteed, setting up a training‑camp competition with Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews for essentially one roster spot.
  • Hard‑cap math leaves the Knicks roughly $3.7 million below the second apron, which currently allows only one veteran minimum and one rookie minimum addition.
  • Multiple outlets report the team is weighing trades to create space to keep both Brogdon and Shamet, with Pacôme Dadiet or Tyler Kolek mentioned as possible chips.
  • Brogdon, the 2017 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man, appeared in 24 games for the Wizards last season and is expected to fill a reserve playmaking role under new coach Mike Brown if retained.
