Ian Begley: Jose Alvarado (ankle) out tonight vs ORL, Mike Brown says. Brown was asked about playing James Wiseman vs Celtics. He says Knicks have an established starting 5 but beyond that, everything is up for competition re: reserve minutes/roles
Shams Charania: The New York Knicks are waiving Bruce Brown, sources tell ESPN. James Wiseman is set to make the Knicks regular season roster as a reserve center.
Stefan Bondy: The Knicks have cut down the final roster competition to two players: James Wiseman and Bruce Brown. To keep both, the Knicks would need to make a trade. They’ve prioritized a center and, as The Post reported, Wiseman was the frontrunner since camp started.
James L. Edwards III: Can confirm the Knicks are waiving Tony Bradley, Drew Eubanks and Ochai Agbaji. Brown and Wiseman are still standing, with the Knicks looking to fill the 14th roster spot before start of the season. New York would need to make a trade to keep both.
Ian Begley: Prior to the Drew Eubanks injury, center James Wiseman had put himself in good position to make Knicks’ final roster, per SNY sources familiar with the matter. Knicks have enough room under 2nd apron to keep one camp vet. Bruce Brown has also put himself in good position to get roster spot, but Knicks would need to trade a rostered player to make that happen. Brown, in my opinion, would be a great value addition for the Knicks, giving them strong veteran depth in case of injury. ESPN reported Eubanks will be waived after suffering pectoral injury.

For the first four games — including Monday against the 76ers in Philadelphia — that probably means a heavier dose of the reserves. It’s also the best opportunity to evaluate the final roster spot. The Knicks, per sources, are prioritizing a center. That was reiterated when Tony Bradley, a 6-foot-11 veteran, was brought into camp to battle James Wiseman and Drew Eubanks.
James Edwards III: Mike Brown on being back with James Wiseman: "Fantastic human being. It's good to see him in the gym."
Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.

Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.
Michael Scotto: The New York Knicks have signed former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to an Exhibit 9 deal, team says. The 25-year-old center has averaged 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game in five seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers.
KΞRL_: Tyrese Haliburton says getting passed on by the Pistons felt the most personal Taylor Rooks: “Of the teams that passed on you, was there one that felt the most personal?” Tyrese Haliburton: “For sure, Detroit. For sure, Detroit.” “Because I mean, there were a lot of teams I wanted to go to. I liked Golden State a lot,that was like a dream. But I knew they probably wouldn't pick me at two.” “The Bulls, I thought, would have been cool. The Knicks. The Pistons. But with the Pistons, I knew they needed a point guard.” “In that moment, I already felt like I was the best point guard in the draft. LaMelo was touted as the number one guy, so he got drafted. And now I’m like, ‘Okay, it’s got to be me.’” “On ESPN, the top available were Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and LaMelo Ball. After that, I’m the number one best available.” “I told the Hawks and Cavs, ‘Please God, don’t draft me,’ because they already had Trae and Darius.” “So with the Pistons, I’m like, ‘You need a point guard, it’s got to be me.’ Then I look at my agent behind the camera and he gives me the look. Then it flashes up Killian Hayes, and I’m like, ‘What?!’” “In that moment, I was just angry. Like, what do you mean they need a point guard and they’re not picking me?”
Misko Raznatovic: The decision has been made! The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, James Wiseman, will continue his career in Europe. We have begun exploring overseas opportunities and are working to identify the best situation for him! @excelbasketball #BeoBasket
