Knicks Waive Two-Way Forward Tosan Evbuomwan Ahead of Guarantee Date

The move clears a two-way slot ahead of salary guarantees to preserve flexibility before the trade deadline.

Overview

Evbuomwan was placed on waivers Wednesday and will become a free agent Friday if unclaimed, per multiple reports citing SNY's Ian Begley.
The 24-year-old logged five brief appearances for New York this season without a point, but averaged 17.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 12 G League games with Westchester.
His release opens a two-way spot alongside Kevin McCullar Jr. and Trey Jemison on the Knicks' two-way ledger.
He will forfeit the remainder of his $636,435 two-way salary, partly offset by a $265,467 NBA Cup bonus from New York's tournament win.
Team outlets note the Knicks could consider internal options such as Westchester guard Dink Pate for the vacant two-way slot.
