The move
Toby Okani is off the New York Knicks' roster, according to the club's official roster as of Wednesday, Sept. 16. No transaction report had logged a move for the 24-year-old forward in advance; none is on file. The rookie's next stop is not announced.
The money
Okani's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so no cap figure or term is available for him. The Knicks carry $217.9 million across 13 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. That sits above the $165.0 million cap, the $200.4 million tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.
The fit
In six games last season, Okani averaged 36.2 minutes, 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist. New York's returning rotation was led by Jalen Brunson at 35.0 minutes and 26.0 points, with OG Anunoby (33.2 minutes, 16.7 points), Mikal Bridges (32.8, 14.4), Karl-Anthony Towns (31.0, 20.1), Josh Hart (30.2, 12.0), Miles McBride (26.3, 12.0), Landry Shamet (23.0, 9.3) and Mitchell Robinson (19.6, 5.7) filling out the minutes. The Knicks now list 22 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
