New York made it official on James Wiseman, Ochai Agbaji, John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Bruce Brown, all inked at the identical $2,449,421 camp number, one day after cutting Liam Robbins loose. The preseason opens October 5 at Philadelphia, four exhibition games before the regular-season opener October 20, hosting Philadelphia on NBC/Peacock.
Five At One Number
James Wiseman, Ochai Agbaji, John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Bruce Brown are all under contract at $2,449,421 apiece, the going rate for a non-guaranteed camp deal. Liam Robbins is already out the door. That's the last wave of bodies before Mike Brown starts cutting for real.
Preseason Gets A Date
The exhibition slate opens October 5 at Philadelphia, then home dates against Washington and Minnesota before a road trip to Toronto on October 13. The lights go up for real October 20, when Philadelphia visits the Garden on NBC and Peacock to open the title defense.
Two Names On The Injury List
Jalen Brunson is working through a wrist and arm issue, and Mohamed Diawara is dealing with a finger and arm problem of his own. Both carry an estimated return of October 1, comfortably ahead of the opener, but it's a reminder health decides how far this group goes.
The Open Chair
Igor Milicic Jr.'s Exhibit 10 deal still hasn't resolved into anything more, and it's the one roster domino left standing. With five vets now signed to matching camp deals, the fight for the last bench spot is no longer hypothetical, it's a numbers game Brown has to solve before opening night.
Who did the Knicks sign this week?
James Wiseman, Ochai Agbaji, John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Bruce Brown, all at the same $2,449,421 non-guaranteed number, with Liam Robbins already cut loose.
When do the Knicks play their first game?
The preseason opens October 5 at Philadelphia, and the regular-season opener is October 20 at home, hosting Philadelphia on NBC and Peacock.
