Overview

  • Brogdon announced his retirement in a statement to ESPN on Wednesday, saying he is grateful to end his career on his own terms after nine NBA seasons.
  • He informed Knicks officials of his decision roughly a week before New York opens against Cleveland, having appeared in all four preseason games.
  • Brogdon signed a non‑guaranteed training camp deal in September and was on track to make the roster under new coach Mike Brown.
  • A 2017 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man of the Year, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds for five franchises, with injuries limiting him to 63 games over the past two seasons including 24 with Washington.
  • His exit opens a spot on the hard‑capped Knicks, shifting consideration to camp invitees Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews while Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson figure prominently in the backup guard mix.
