Overall, he has averaged 4.2 points and 3.8 boards across 63 career games. Jemison III will add depth to the Knicks' frontcourt, which includes
Karl-Anthony Towns,
Mitchell Robinson, and
Guerschon Yabusele.

The New York Knicks have brought back shooting guard
Kevin McCullar Jr. on a two-way contract. The former Kansas Jayhawk was also on a two-way contract during his rookie year last season when he made his first four NBA appearances with the Knicks. McCullar Jr. didn't make a significant contribution, logging only 29 total minutes. He notched 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in 27.8 minutes with the Westchester Knicks in the G League. McCullar Jr. will likely continue developing his game in the G League for most of the season.

Forward
Matt Ryan has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the New York Knicks. The New York native will hope to start a second consecutive season with the Knicks. In 2024-25, Ryan made 19 appearances with the team before being waived in March. Over his four-year NBA career, Ryan has suited up for five teams. He's mostly been limited to a third-string role, posting 3.7 points in 9.4 minutes per game. Ryan is a good shooter, having knocked down 40.2 percent of his threes in the NBA, but this alone isn't enough to secure a regular role on a team.

The New York Knicks have brought in center
Alex Len for training camp on an Exhibit 9 contract. Len has played nearly 700 NBA games and would add valuable experience and a physical presence to the Knicks if he makes the team. The Ukrainian big man split last season between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 1.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes. He's been limited to fewer than 10 minutes per game for three consecutive campaigns and shouldn't be expected to be a fantasy factor.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Nickeil Alexander-Walker is set to play a significant offensive role on his new team. "The Hawks' coaching staff has worked closely with Alexander-Walker in Toronto ahead of taking on a more expanded offensive role than he held with the Minnesota Timberwolves," Grant Afseth of RG reports. Alexander-Walker has mostly been known for his defense so far during his career, averaging only 8.8 points and 2.3 assists in 20.8 minutes. However, it looks like he will have the ball more in his hands in Atlanta. Afseth mentions that Alexander-Walker will likely have "consistent ball-handling responsibilities" alongside another new member of the team,
Luke Kennard. This could lead to a breakout campaign for Alexander-Walker from a fantasy perspective.

Oklahoma City Thunder center
Thomas Sorber (knee) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, Clemente Almanza of the OKC Thunder Wire reports. The young big man suffered the injury a few weeks ago during an offseason workout. Sorber was the 15th pick in this year's draft after a strong year at Georgetown. His 2024-25 season ended early due to foot surgery, so he's had some tough luck with injuries this calendar year. Tuesday's knee surgery means Sorber will miss the entire 2025-26 campaign. He is expected to be healthy and ready for the next season.

Tosan Evbuomwan has agreed to a deal with the New York Knicks, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 24-year-old showed some decent numbers with the Brooklyn Nets last season but was waived by the team in August. Across 28 outings, Evbuomwan averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 23.8 minutes. Evbuomwan has also seen action in the league with the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons, making 45 total appearances. In training camp, Evbuomwan will compete for one of New York's two-way spots on the roster.

Forward/center
Kai Jones will kick off the 2025-26 season in Europe, having agreed to a one-year deal with two-time EuroLeague champions Anadolu Efes. Jones enjoyed a solid finish to last season, averaging 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds over a 12-game stretch with the Dallas Mavericks. He was linked with the Miami Heat during the offseason and even had a workout with the team. Jones' contract with Anadolu Efes reportedly includes an NBA out clause for January, so there's a chance we'll still see him in action in the Association this season.

Bismack Biyombo has returned to the San Antonio Spurs on a one-year contract, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The veteran big man ended last season in San Antonio, putting up 5.1 points per game and averaging 5.6 rebounds in 18.9 minutes. He was a starter in all but two of his 28 appearances, as injuries hit the Spurs' frontcourt. With
Victor Wembanyama healthy again and
Luke Kornet providing a solid backup at center for the upcoming season, Biyombo faces a tough challenge to earn playing time in 2025-26.

Guard
Bones Hyland has officially rejoined the Minnesota Timberwolves. In 2024-25, he spent the last couple of months of the season with the Timberwolves on a two-way contract, and Hyland was expected to return to the team for the new campaign. He'll hope to see more action than last season, as Hyland only played four times for the Timberwolves, averaging 4.3 minutes on the floor. He started the year with the Los Angeles Clippers, posting 7.2 points per game in 11.1 minutes. Unless the backcourt gets hit by injuries, it's hard to see Hyland getting regular minutes in Minnesota.

The Brooklyn Nets are acquiring guard
Kobe Bufkin from the Atlanta Hawks for cash considerations, sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania. The Hawks selected Bufkin 15th in the 2023 draft, but injuries have severely limited his development. Last season, Bufkin's campaign ended in December due to shoulder surgery. He made 10 appearances, averaging 5.3 points and 1.7 assists in 12.4 minutes. Bufkin gets a fresh start in Brooklyn, although the Nets' backcourt currently appears very crowded, making it difficult to project what the rotation might look like.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo led Greece to their first podium finish in EuroBasket since 2009. The two-time NBA MVP even said that this was his "greatest accomplishment." In the third-place game, Antetokounmpo finished with 30 points on 9-for-11 shooting from the floor and 12-for-16 from the charity stripe. He also chipped in with 17 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, one steal, and seven turnovers. He was also named to the EuroBasket All-Star team after averaging 27.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 4.4 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .685/.250/.656.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun had quite the EuroBasket performance, finishing in the top seven for points and top four for both assists and rebounds per game. Ultimately, Sengun and Turkey fell just short of the gold medal by five points to Germany. In 30 minutes, Sengung posted 28 points, three rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and three turnovers while shooting 11-for-22 from the floor and 5-for-6 from the free throw line. As the go-to guy for Turkey, Sengun really proved that he belongs in the upper echelon of big men right now. He registered 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game through nine games.

Sacramento Kings guard
Dennis Schroder turns into a superstar every time he puts on the German National Team's jersey. He did it yet again as he led the Germans to the gold in EuroBasket this year and was even named the MVP. In the 88-83 win over Turkey, the 32-year-old posted 16 points, 12 assists, three rebounds, and one steal while shooting 5-for-11 from the floor, 1-for-3 from deep, and 5-for-6 from the free throw line. Throughout the tournament, he averaged 20.3 points, 7.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 turnovers, and 2.2 threes per game. He'll start the first year of a new contract with the Sacramento Kings this coming season.

Memphis Grizzlies center/forward
Jaren Jackson Jr. (toe) underwent a procedure in July to address a turf toe injury, and it appears he's progressing well. The former Defensive Player of the Year said, "I'm feeling good. I'm progressing the right way. I'm doing what I need to do. Every day has been a building block." There isn't a firm timetable on his return, but the team originally said that they'd reevaluate his status around the start of training camp. Now that the Grizzlies dealt away
Desmond Bane, they'll need all hands on deck this coming season if they want to return to the playoffs. Jackson had one of his healthiest seasons in 2024-25, but averaged just below 30 minutes per game. With that being said, he still registered 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 blocks per contest with shooting percentages of .488/.375/.781.
