Tony Bradley is off the New York Knicks roster as of Friday, Oct. 16, after a report flagged roster activity the day before. The move leaves his contract status unlisted and comes with the Knicks already carrying 18 players.
The move
Tony Bradley is off the Knicks roster, a change that showed up in the team's official roster on Friday, Oct. 16. Bradley, 28, is a center-forward entering his eighth season and had been with New York. The move follows a Thursday, Oct. 15 report from Hoopsrumors headlined "Knicks Notes: Brown, Wiseman, Brunson, Towns, Hart," which touched on the roster before the change became official; the report carried no listed confidence rating. No trade or waiver has been specified.
The money
Bradley's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or a departure by a day, so no cap hit or year count is available for him. The Knicks carry $227.7 million in payroll across 17 contracts for 2026-27, over the second apron. The league cap is $165.0 million, the tax line $200.4 million, the first apron $209.0 million and the second apron $221.7 million, putting New York past every one of those thresholds.
The fit
Bradley played 41 games last season, averaging 11.0 minutes, 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists. At his spot, the Knicks' frontcourt last season ran through Karl-Anthony Towns at 31.0 minutes and 20.1 points, with Mitchell Robinson adding 19.6 minutes and 5.7 points. The roster now stands at 18 players against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
