inside the knicks How the Knicks will decide on their last roster spot — and why it matters more than you think By Stefan Bondy Published Sep. 24, 2026, 6:20 a.m. ET James Wiseman (11) will compete for a spot on the Knicks' roster after spending four games last season with the Pacers.

They have two natural frontcourt players in their 30s — Karl-Anthony Towns, Andre Drummond — and that’s it. One injury would send the rotation into an undersized mess.
It’s why the training-camp battle between James Wiseman and Drew Eubanks has our attention. Both veteran centers will operate at the Tarrytown facility on non-guaranteed deals with a very legitimate chance of making the final roster.
With that said, the Knicks also have three guards/wings on non-guaranteed deals — Bruce Brown, Jon Konchar, Ochai Agbaji — who are deserving of final-roster consideration. Brown and Konchar, in particular, are strong candidates with established NBA résumés.
