Camp Gets Crowded

New York added three players to camp — John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Robbins — while six others were signed and waived, per Hoops Rumors. ESPN's Shams Charania confirmed the Konchar deal, and the New York Post's Jared Schwartz reported it as a roster battle getting underway.

Konchar's Path Here

Konchar had reported interest from the Heat, Magic and Raptors as recently as Sept. 15, per Hoops Rumors. He signed a one-year deal with New York instead, per the same report.

Two Banged Up

Brunson is day-to-day with a left wrist and arm issue, targeting Oct. 1. Mohamed Diawara is day-to-day with a finger and arm issue on the same timeline. Neither injury threatens the preseason opener.

Dates On The Calendar

Preseason opens Oct. 5 at Philadelphia, followed by Washington, Minnesota and Toronto, before the regular season opens Oct. 20 against the 76ers. That's the window Konchar, Eubanks and Robbins have to make the final roster.

Bottom Line

This is roster math, not a title-defense update: New York is stress-testing camp depth before real games count. The open question is how many of these adds survive final cuts.

Who are the new Knicks camp signings?

New York added John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Robbins to camp, with Konchar signing a one-year deal, per Hoops Rumors and ESPN's Shams Charania.

Is Jalen Brunson injured heading into camp?

Brunson is day-to-day with a left wrist and arm issue and is targeting an Oct. 1 return, according to the team's injury report.
