The Knicks cleared Tony Bradley on Monday, removing the day-to-day tag he had carried since Thursday. The center-forward is now available for New York's 2026-27 opener against the Timberwolves.
What happened
The Knicks cleared Tony Bradley on Monday, Oct. 12 at 2:52 PM ET, lifting the day-to-day tag he had carried since Thursday, Oct. 8. That earlier listing was tied to a coach's decision and other reasons, and the injury report gave no further detail on any physical issue. No expected return date was attached, since Bradley is no longer listed as out in any capacity. The update clears the 28-year-old center-forward for New York's season opener against the Timberwolves on Monday night at 7:30 PM ET on NBA TV.
What it means for the Knicks
Bradley is available for the Knicks' 2026-27 opener against the Timberwolves on Monday at 7:30 PM ET on NBA TV, with New York opening the season at 0-0. Last season he appeared in 41 games, averaging 11.0 minutes, 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists as a reserve big. Mitchell Robinson logged 19.6 minutes and 5.7 points per game in last season's rotation without Bradley, the closest frontcourt role to his own, while Karl-Anthony Towns led the frontcourt at 31.0 minutes and 20.1 points. There is no record with or without Bradley yet, since the 2026-27 season has not started.
What to watch
Watch the next injury report for any change before Monday's tip-off against the Timberwolves. No expected return date applies, since Bradley was cleared outright rather than given a timeline back from an injury. The game is the first of New York's 2026-27 schedule.
