Tyler Nickel Signs Two-Way Deal with Knicks
The New York Knicks have signed forward Tyler Nickel to a two-way contract, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. The 47th pick in June's draft averaged 13.5 points while shooting 40.0 percent from three during his senior season at Vanderbilt. Nickel carried that shooting into Summer League, averaging 12.2 points across five games and knocking down six threes against Brooklyn. With Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart already commanding wing minutes, Westchester should be a major part of Nickel's rookie season. His shooting gives him a skill worth tracking, but he isn't a near-term fantasy option.

N'Faly Dante Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Knicks
The New York Knicks have signed center N'Faly Dante (knee) to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced Saturday. The 24-year-old tore his right ACL during a G-League game in December and underwent surgery in January, with his rehab expected to extend into the start of the season. Dante has appeared in only eight NBA games with Houston and Atlanta, averaging 3.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 8.3 minutes. The deal could eventually lead to a stint with the Westchester Knicks once he's healthy. With Andre Drummond backing up Karl-Anthony Towns, Dante won't factor into the fantasy picture anytime soon.

Jalen Brunson Fully Cleared Ahead of Camp
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson said Thursday during a live taping of The Roommates Show that he is "fully cleared" after undergoing left wrist surgery in July. The reigning Finals MVP played through the injury during New York's championship run before having the procedure. Brunson averaged 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds across 74 regular-season games last season. With no restrictions expected when training camp opens, his fantasy outlook remains intact entering 2026-27. The update also reduces the chances of Miles McBride or Jose Alvarado seeing an early bump in ball-handling duties.

Karl-Anthony Towns' Extension Talks with Knicks Stall Before Camp
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is unlikely to agree to an extension before training camp, according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Vincent Goodwill. The 30-year-old is eligible for a four-year deal worth up to roughly $273 million, while Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports that the Knicks are seeking a discount from the max. Towns averaged 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 75 games last season and enters the final guaranteed year of his current deal, with a player option for 2027-28. The contract situation should not affect his role, leaving Towns in position for another high-volume fantasy season.

Jalen Brunson Cleared to Open Camp Without Restrictions
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (wrist) is at 80 to 85 percent in his recovery from July surgery and is expected to have no restrictions when training camp opens Sept. 29, ESPN's Vincent Goodwill reports. Brunson is back to basketball activities and no longer wearing a brace after playing through the injury during New York's title run. The reigning Finals MVP averaged 26.0 points and 6.8 assists across 74 regular-season games before putting up 32.6 points per game against San Antonio. The positive update eases most fantasy concerns, though his shooting touch is worth monitoring early after surgery on his left wrist.

Knicks Sign James Wiseman to Exhibit 9 Deal
According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the New York Knicks have signed center James Wiseman to an Exhibit 9 contract. The former No. 2 overall pick joins Drew Eubanks, Bruce Brown, John Konchar, and Ochai Agbaji in a five-player battle for what is effectively one roster spot if New York stays below the second apron. Wiseman has played only five games over the past two seasons after tearing his left Achilles in Indiana's 2024-25 opener but owns career averages of 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond ahead of him, Wiseman would likely need injuries to carve out meaningful fantasy value.

Ochai Agbaji Joins Knicks on Exhibit 9 Deal
According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the New York Knicks have signed guard/forward Ochai Agbaji to an Exhibit 9 contract. The 26-year-old averaged 5.1 points while shooting 26.6 percent from three across 62 games with Toronto and Brooklyn last season, a steep decline from his 10.4 points and 39.9 percent mark from deep in 2024-25. Agbaji now enters a five-player camp battle for what is effectively one roster spot unless New York makes another move. Even if he sticks, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart leave limited wing minutes and little immediate fantasy upside.

Bruce Brown Lands Exhibit 9 Deal with Knicks
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent guard Bruce Brown has signed a training camp contract with the New York Knicks. New York later announced the 30-year-old is on an Exhibit 9 deal, putting him in a camp battle with Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, John Konchar, and Drew Eubanks for what is effectively one roster spot if the Knicks stay below the second apron. Brown averaged 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes across all 82 games for Denver last season while shooting 38.5 percent from three. Landry Shamet turned a similar opportunity into a long-term deal, but Brown would still need injuries or a larger-than-expected bench role to carry much fantasy value.

Knicks Waive Igor Milicic
The New York Knicks have waived forward Igor Milicic, the team announced. The move comes days after he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the defending champions. Westchester already holds his G League rights after a trade with Delaware, and Milicic can earn a bonus of up to roughly $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with the affiliate. He averaged 6.9 points in 18.8 minutes across 45 games with the Blue Coats last season, shooting 40.2 percent from the field. The Polish forward posted 18 points and eight rebounds against Germany in World Cup qualifying last month, but he carries no fantasy value at the NBA level. The bigger fantasy question is how New York fills out its frontcourt after losing Mitchell Robinson to Boston, with Andre Drummond as the veteran reinforcement.

Liam Robbins Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Knicks
The New York Knicks have signed center Liam Robbins to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced. Robbins earned the camp look after a solid Las Vegas Summer League run, highlighted by 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocks against Detroit. The 2023 SEC Defensive Player of the Year now joins New York's third-center competition behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond, giving the Knicks another rim-protection option after Mitchell Robinson left for Boston. Robbins' NBA experience is thin, as he logged just 57 minutes across 13 games with Milwaukee in 2024-25. The Exhibit 10 structure leaves room for a two-way conversion, but Robbins will not have fantasy value unless he makes the roster and injuries thin out New York's frontcourt.

Drew Eubanks Set to Join Knicks on Camp Deal
Free-agent center Drew Eubanks (thumb) is signing a training camp deal with the New York Knicks and will compete for a roster spot, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The 29-year-old big man had been unsigned since his 2025-26 season with Sacramento ended in March, when he underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb. Before the injury, Eubanks averaged 5.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 13.1 minutes across 42 games with the Kings. The defending champion Knicks have been looking for another center since Mitchell Robinson left for Boston, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond already set as the top two options. Even if Eubanks makes the team, he would likely be the third center and would need an injury in front of him to get on the fantasy radar.

John Konchar Agrees to One-Year Deal with Knicks
Free-agent guard/forward John Konchar has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks, agent George S. Langberg told ESPN's Shams Charania. The 30-year-old was waived by Minnesota shortly after the Timberwolves acquired him from Utah in late August, and he now lands in New York as a depth piece. Konchar split last season between Memphis and Utah, averaging 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 steals in 19.9 minutes while shooting just 28.3 percent from three. He was more useful with the Jazz, where he posted 5.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals across 26 games. The problem is the depth chart. With Josh Hart, Miles McBride, Landry Shamet, and Jordan Clarkson already in line for guard and wing minutes, Konchar will probably need an injury or trade ahead of him to matter in fantasy.

Josh Hart Says Knicks Are Not Satisfied with One Title
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart said the defending champions still view themselves as the hunters entering 2026-27, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ.com. "I don't think we have a big target because I don't think anyone's picking us to win again," Hart said. "We're using it as fuel; we're still the hunters. We're not satisfied with one." The 31-year-old averaged 12.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 66 regular-season games, then remained a key connector during New York's title run. The Knicks brought back most of their core under Mike Brown, so Hart's role should stay built around rebounding, passing, defense, and low-usage offense. Mitchell Robinson's move to Boston leaves Andre Drummond as the main backup behind Karl-Anthony Towns, but Hart's fantasy value still comes from boards and across-the-board production rather than scoring volume.

Igor Milicic Jr. Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Knicks
Free-agent forward Igor Milicic Jr. has signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the New York Knicks, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, citing Polish outlet Interia Sport. The 24-year-old went undrafted in 2025 after a college run through Virginia, Charlotte, and Tennessee, then spent last season with the Delaware Blue Coats. Milicic averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 18.8 minutes across 45 G-League appearances while shooting 40.2 percent from the field, 28.2 percent from three, and 76.9 percent at the line. New York still has all three two-way slots open, which gives him a plausible developmental path if he sticks past camp. He is not a fantasy option, but the Knicks' search for frontcourt depth behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond keeps Mohamed Diawara, Pacome Dadiet, and Milicic worth tracking in preseason.

Knicks Show Interest in Tony Bradley
Free-agent center Tony Bradley is on the New York Knicks' radar ahead of training camp, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The 28-year-old split last season between Indiana and Atlanta, averaging 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.5 assists in 11.0 minutes across 41 games. New York has been without a traditional third center since Mitchell Robinson left for Boston and Ariel Hukporti signed with Philadelphia, leaving Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond as the main bigs on the depth chart. Bradley would not be a fantasy factor if signed, but he would give Mike Brown another body for camp and foul-trouble insurance behind Towns. The only fantasy ripple would be a slight hit to Drummond's spot-start appeal if New York adds another veteran center.
